The error is that 9 shouldnt be written as nine it should be written as 3x3 or 3^2. So the answer should be 2^3 x 3^2 because 9 can be divided into even more prime factors of 72.
Answer:
0.25*8+7=9
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+7=9
2/8=x
0.25=x
Answer:
A) 40
B) length = 4.275 km; not quite true. See below for explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Your calculator can tell you the ratio ...
(national pennies)/(local pennies) = (8×10⁶)/(2×10⁵)
= (8/2)×10⁶⁻⁵ = 4×10¹ = 40
The national drive collected 40 times as many pennies as the Valley Stream Central goal.
__
B) Multiplying the number of pennies by the diameter of each will tell the length of the line of pennies. That length can be compared to the 5 km distance to determine if the reporter's statement is true. (It is <em>not</em> true.)
length of string = (length of penny) × (number of pennies)
= (19×10⁻⁶ km) × (2.25×10⁵) = 42.75×10⁻¹ km = 4.275 km
The length of the pennies laid side-to-side is less than 5.0 km. The reporter's statement is not true.

All scientific and graphing calculators and many 4-function calculators will let you enter numbers in scientific notation.
It's 300 because you divide 60 by 12 which gives you 5, then multiply 60 and 5.
Answer:
$4
Step-by-step explanation:
The two purchases can be written in terms of the cost of an adult ticket (a) and the cost of a student ticket (s):
7a +16s = 120 . . . . . . . . price for the first purchase
13a +9s = 140 . . . . . . . . price for the second purchase
Using Cramer's rule, the value of s can be found as ...
s = (120·13 -140·7)/(16·13 -9·7) = 580/145 = 4
The cost of a student ticket is $4.

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>
Cramer's rule is particularly useful for systems that don't have "nice" numbers that would make substitution or elimination easy methods to use. If you locate the numbers in the equation, you can see the X-patterns that are used to compute the numerator and denominator differences.
The value of a is (16·140 -9·120)/(same denominator) = 1160/145 = 8. I wanted to show you these numbers so you could see the numerator X-pattern for the first variable.

Of course, graphical methods can be quick and easy, too.
