Let
x-----------> <span>the first number
y-----------> </span><span>the second number
we know that
x*y=x-----------> y=x/x----------> y=1
and x+y=y------> x=y-y---------> x=0
the answer is
</span> the first number is 0
the second number is 1<span>
</span>
[ 1 - 4]
= 1- 4
= 1 + - 4
= - 3
+ [ - 2 6]
= - 12
[ 3 5][ - 2 4]
(3)(5)(( - 2)(4))
= 15(( - 2)(4))
= (15)( - 8 )
= - 120
A decimal number for sure
Six hundred, eighty thousand, seven hundred and five
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.
let the individual saving be the first letters of the names
Jada= J
Lin= L
Elena= E
1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin
J=L-20
2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena
L= 3E
3. Hence Elena saved
E
Together they saved $120.
hence
(L-20)+3E+E= 120
L-20+3E+E= 120
collecting like terms we hav
L+4E=120+20
L+4E= 140
but we know that L= 3E
3E+4E= 140
7E= 140
divide both sides by 7 we have
E= 140/7
E= $20
This means Elena saves $70
also L= 3E
L= 3*20
L= $60
this means that Lean saved $60
also J=L-20
J= 60-20
J= $40
This means that Jada saved $40
