Answer:
<u>The numbers are 40 and 49</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
Let's write our system of equations:
x + y = 89
3x = y + 71
***************************
x = 89 - y
Substituting x in the 2nd equation and solving for y:
3 (89 - y) = y + 71
267 - 3y = y + 71
-3y - y = 71 - 267 (Like terms)
-4y = - 196
y = -196/-4
y = 49
Solving for x in the 1st equation:
x + y = 89
x + 49 = 89
x = 89 - 49
x = 40
<u>The numbers are 40 and 49</u>
3(x-2)+4(2x-3)
Use distributive property
3(x)-3(2)+4(2x)-4(3)
=3x-6+8x-12
Combining like term
3x+8x-6-12
=11x-18. As a result, 11x-18 is another expression that equivalent for 3(x-2)+4(2x-3). Hope it help!
As per the problem,
Marco wants to use the distributive property to find the value of 17 • 69 + 17 • 31.
We have been asked to find , which expression can be used?
As per the distributive property , we know that
Now apply this on the given expression we get
Hence the expression , which can be used is 17(69+31)
There are 3 significant figures because there are 3 digits which aren't 0's
