(40×5)+(2×5) so 40×5=200 and 2×5=10 so 200+10=210

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the numbers as though they were integers, then mark off a number of decimal places in the product equal to the total number of decimal places in the numbers being multiplied (1).
2x + 2y=132
xy=1080
Let x=1080/y
2160/y + 2y=132
2y^2 - 132y +2160=0
2(y^2-66y+1080)=0
2(y-30)(y-33)=0
y=30 or y=33
(36,30) or (30,36)
So... x=30,36 and y=36,30. Either way, the answer is 30 by 36 or 36 by 30.
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
