Regrouping is only done into lower place values. For example, tens to ones and hundreds to tens.
True
Because a negative square root is an i
Answer is C).
One way to find the answer is to multiply the $54 by .30 (which is 30%converted to a decimal). Doing this will give you what 30% of $54 is.
This gives you 16.2
Since the question is asking what 30% off the price is, subtract the 16.2 from the $54.
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
