2689
rounded to the nearest tens = 2690
rounded to the nearest hundreds = 2700
rounded to the nearest thousands = 3000
If the number before the place it needs to be round off is 5 and above, then it is rounded up. If the number is 4 and below, it is rounded down.
For example:
2444
rounded to the nearest tens = 2440
rounded to the nearest hundreds = 2400
rounded to the nearest thousands = 2000
The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54

Half, meaning cut it by 1/2 of it's original value.
To cut it in half, we need to divide 27 by 2 to get the answer 13.5.
This makes sense because 14 + 14 = 28, and 13.5 + 13.5 = 27.
Score = 6x+y
so 6x+y = xy
⇒ 6x = xy-y
⇒ 6x = y(x-1)
⇒ y = 6x/(x-1)
for x=0, y=0
x=1 , not possible
x=2, y = 12
x = 3, y = 9
x = 4, y = 8
x = 5, y = 7.5 (not possible)
x = 6 , y = 7.1 (not possible)
x = 7, y = 7
x = 8, y = 6.85 (not possible)
x = 9, y = 6.75 (not possible)...
Only five scores are possible.
