Answer:
X+y=56 equation 1
X-y=16 equation 2
X+y+x-y=56+16
2x=72(divide Both side by 2)
X=36
X+y=56(from equation 1 to find y)
36+y=56
Y=56-36
Y=20
So their product is xy
36×20
720
So the answer is 720
Let the original number be x.
Acc. to the question,
2x+1616=(2/5)x
or, 10x+8080=2x
or, 10x-2x= -8080
or, 8x= -8080
or, x= -8080/8
or, x = -1010
Therefore, the original number is -1010
Answer:
3/4 times 18= 13.5
31.5-13.5=18
It cost 18 dollars for the skirt with a discount.
It cost 13.5 for the blouse as opposed to the original price of 18 dollars.
18(skirt)+13.5(blouse)=31.5
If you set up a proportion to find the original price of the skirt you will get the answer.
18/x=75/100
75x=18 times 100
75x=1800
75x/75=1800/75
x=24
The original price of the skirt is 24 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
6^-6 - (-5) = 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^(-1)
A lot of things are going on in this question. Notice how the 5 is handled. It starts off in the denominator as - 5 and when brought to the numerator it becomes -(-5) which makes it + 5.
The answer is then easy. It is 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^-1
You could give the answer as 1/6 but that is not what the question says.
