Answer:
x = 2.13 × 10^11
Approximately 2.13 × 10^11 mails were processed in 2006
Completed question;
There were approximately 1.6 * 10^11 pieces of mall processed by the United States Postal
Service in 2012. This is about 75% of the number of pieces of mail processed in 2006.
Approximately how many pieces of mail were processed by the United States Postal Service in
2006
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of mails processed in year 2006
Given;
Number of mails processed in 2012 N = 1.6 × 10^11
Number of mails processed in 2012 N is about 75% of the number of pieces of mail processed in 2006.
So;
N = 75% of x
N = 0.75x
x = N/0.75
x = (1.6 × 10^11)/0.75
x = 2.13 × 10^11
Approximately 2.13 × 10^11 mails were processed in 2006
1. 3x - 19 = 2
+19 +19
3x = 21
÷3 ÷3
x= 7
2. 4x + 12x = 6² + 4(11)
16x = 36 + 44
16x = 80
÷16 ÷16
x= 5
Answer: x1 = 0; x2 = 5/3; x3 = 1/3
x1 + 2x2 - x3 = 3 => 2x1 + 4x2 - 2x3 = 6
2x1 + x2 - 2x3 = 1
=> 4x2 - x2 = 5
⇔ 3x2 = 5
⇔ x2 = 5/3
with x2 = 5/3, we have: x1 - x3 = 3 - 10/3 = -1/3
3x1 - 5x3 = 5 - 4.5/3 = -5/3
=> x1 = 0
x3 = 1/3

Answer:
They both sold $40 worth of cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using multiples the first multiple that 10 and 8 have in common is 40.
10,20,30,40
8,16,24,32,40
The person that factored the polynomial did one thing wrong -- they used minus signs when they should've used plus signs. We can figure this out because of the values of the quantities in the original trinomial. Since all of them are positive, we know that either there are two plus signs or that there is a minus and a plus sign with the value to the right of the plus sign being greater than the value to the right of the minus sign. But, that wouldn't work here, so the only thing wrong with this answer is that the plus signs should be minus signs.
