Given that
XY*8 = YYY ⇒⇒⇒ Where X and Y are digits
So, X is equal to one of the digits from 1 to 9
and Y is one of the digits from 1 to 9
This can be solved as following
YYY = 100Y + 10Y + Y = Y(100+10+1) = 111Y
XY*8 = 8 (10X + Y) = 80X + 8Y
∴ 80X + 8Y = 111Y
∴ 80 X = 111Y - 8 Y
∴ 80 X = 103 Y

∴ Y = 80X/103
substitute with X = 1 to 9
X = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 0.77 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

X = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 1.55 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 2.33 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.11 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 5 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.88 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 4.66 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 5.44 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.21 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

X = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.99 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

So, The is no value of  Y to achieve ⇒⇒ XY * 8 = YYY

================================================

I think the problem is as following:

Given that XY8 = YYY ⇒⇒⇒ Where X and Y are digits
So, X is equal to one of the digits from 1 to 9
and Y is one of the digits from 1 to 9
This can be solved as following
YYY = 100Y + 10Y + Y = Y(100+10+1) = 111Y
XY8 = 100X + 10Y + 8
∴ 100X + 10Y + 8 = 111Y
∴ 100x + 8 = 101Y
∴ Y = (100X + 8)/101
substitute with X = 1 to 9
X = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 1.07 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

X = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 2.06 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.05 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 4.04 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 5 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 5.03 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.02 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 7.01 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 8    ⇒⇒⇒ integer ⇒⇒ the correct answer

X = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ Y =8.99 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

So, The value of Y = 8

when you subtract one negative integer from another will your answer be greater than or less than integer you started with? Expl
pshichka [43]
Lets take   (-4) - (-6) 
             = -4 + 6     (here we changed the sign because in integers when you are                                                     subtracting <span>an integer, we put its opposite..thats the rule .)
            =. -4 + 6 = 2

so here we got the answer as 2 .....this shows that </span>your answer will be less than the integer you started with ....this is because here in subtraction we will first change the sign and then follow the same rules of addition ...so here if both the numbers have opposite signs then we subtract and put the greater number sign .....

Hope i am right !!!</span>

Consider the following set of equations, where s, s0, x and r have units of length, t has units of time, v has units of velocity
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation to be dimensionally correct the dimension of quantities on both sides of equation must be same.

Also, two physically quantities can only be added or subtracted only when their dimension are same.

here all option are dimensionally correct except the 5th option where

dimension of t= [T] whereas dimension of a/v is \frac{LT^{-2}}{LT^{-1}}

= T^{-1}

since, the dimension of quantities on either sides of equation are not the same the equation is dimensionally is incorrect.
