Mathematics

1 answer:

True [87]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-y)-3x-7y=3(5)-(-5)

3x-3y-3x-7y=15+5

-10y=20

y=-2, since x-y=5

x-(-2)=5

x+2=5

x=3

So the solution is the point (3,-2)

Solve the following equations: <br> 5x-(x+2)^2=x^2-8+x

Blababa [14]

Answer:

x = √2 = 1.414

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(x+2)^2=x^2-8+x

since (x+2)^2 = x^2 + 2(x)(2) + 2^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4

5x - (x^2 + 4x + 4) = x^2 + x - 8

-x^2 + x - 4 = x^2 + x - 8

x^2 + x^2 + x - x = -4 + 8

2x^2 = 4

x^2 = 2

x = √2 = 1.414

What is 400,000 times 200 in scientific notation

aniked [119]

If you move the decimal point left until it is just to the right of the most-significant digit, the number of places you moved it is the power of ten that your new number is multiplied by.

$400,000=4\times 10^{5}\\200=2\times 10^{2}$

Then multiplication can proceed in the usual way, taking into account the rules of exponents.

$4\cdot 10^{5}\times 2\cdot 10^{2}=8\cdot 10^{(5+2)}\\\\=8\cdot 10^{7}$
