Answer:

-12 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=-17

b-a=7

b=7+a

a+7+a=-17

2a+7=-17

2a=-17-7

2a=-24

a=-12

-12+b=-17

b=-17+12

b=-5

so a and b are -12 and -5 respectively

The distance from earth to the moon is about 22^4 miles.The distance from earth to neptune is about 22^7 miles.Which distance is
fiasKO [112]

You are NOT using scientific notation correctly.  When you say 22^4 you are saying 22*22*22*22 which equals 234,256.  What you should say is Earth to Moon distance = 22 * 10^4 miles.  (To be really precise, it should be expressed as 2.2 * 10^5 miles).

Earth to Neptune distance = 2.2 * 10^8 miles.

2.2 * 10^8 / 2.2 * 10^5 = 1,000.  So the Earth to Neptune distance is 1,000 times greater than the Earth to Moon distance.
