Answer: 0.368421053
Step-by-step explanation: 19/7=0.368412053 :-)
Let n represent the number.
-13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
-13n +780 = n -59
839 = 14n
839/14 = n = 59 13/14
The number is 59 13/14.
_____
Check
The difference between the number and 60 is
59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
-13 times that value is
-13*(-1/14) = 13/14
Compare that to the number plus -59
59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.
+8y and -8y cross out.
So the first one is 3x=15
Second one is 2x=10
x=5
Then plug x is one of the equations
2(5)-8y=10
10-8y=10
x=5
y=0
For linear, the y-differences are equal. An example is the total cost of buying a single type of item.
Quadratic - the 2nd differences are equal,. Example: path of a kicked ball
Cubic - the 3rd differences are equal. Example: modeling the shapes of vases or curved designs
Exponential - the y-ratios are equal. Example: growth of bacteria
