Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 5) = 10

You would first multiply 2 by x and 5

2x-10 = 10

then you would add ten to both sides

2= 20

then you would divide 2 by 20

x=10

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Express your answer in scientific notation. 9.3 X 107 - 3.14 X 106

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$89.86\times 10^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9.3\times 10^7 - 3.14\times 10^6\\$

In order to simplify the above expressions we make sure that we get same powers of 10 for both the terms.

So, we multiply and divide the first term with 10

Dividing first term by 10.

$\frac{9.3\times 10^7}{10}\\9.3\times 10^{7-1}\\9.3\times 10^6\\$

Now multiplying it by 10.

$10\times9.3\times 10^6\\93\times 10^6$

Evaluating the new expressions.

$93\times 10^6 - 3.14\times 10^6\\$

Taking $10^6$ common factor out.

$(93-3.14)\ties 10^6$

$=89.86\times 10^6$

Jim adds 20 to it, then doubles it and gets an answer of 99.2. What was the original number?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

(n+20)*2 = 99.2

distribute

2n + 40 = 99.2

subtract 40 from each side

2n = 59.2

divide each side by 2

n = 29.6
