Answer:

x = one number

y = second number

Where,

x = y - 3

2y = 4x - 16

Multiply the first equation by 2 and substitute the second equation into it.

2(x=y-3) : 2x = 2y - 6

 

2x = (4x - 16) - 6

Combine like terms

2x = 4x - 22

2x - 2x + 22 = 4x - 2x -22 + 22

22 = 2x

22/2 = 2x/2

11 = x

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

8.182X10^8 $pounds

a=8.182 and b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the Empire State Building =7.3X 10^8 pounds.

Weight of the One World Trade Center building= 88,200,000 pounds.

The addition of the two:

=7.3X 10^8+8.82 X 10^7\\$To make it easier to add, express both as powers of 8\\=7.3X 10^8+0.882 X 10^8\\=(7.3+0.882)X10^8\\=8.182X10^8 $ pounds

Comparing with the form: aX10^b

a=8.182 and b=8
