Answer:

The number is -6

The second operation is -60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Solving (a): The value of x

Operations 1:

Multiply by 3: 3x

Add 40: 3x + 40

Operations 2:

Add 17: x + 17

Multiply by 2: (x + 17) * 2

To find x, equate both operations.

3x + 40 =  (x + 17) *2

3x + 40 =  2x + 34

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 34 - 40

x = -6

Solving (b):

Operations:

Subtract 9: x - 9

Multiply by 4: (x - 9) * 4

This gives:

(x - 9) *  4 = (-6 - 9) * 4

(x - 9) *  4 = -15 * 4

(x - 9) *  4 = -60

How do you solve 38.7×10 to the fourth power

ndex Notation and Powers of 10

10 to the Power 2

The exponent (or index or power) of a number says

how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

102 means 10 × 10 = 100

(It says 10 is used 2 times in the multiplication)

Example: 103 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000

In words: 103 could be called "10 to the third power", "10 to the power 3" or simply "10 cubed"

Example: 104 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000

In words: 104 could be called "10 to the fourth power", "10 to the power 4" or "10 to the 4"

Give the property that justifies each step.
hjlf

Answer:

Please check the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the properties are defined as:

  • <em>Distributive property</em>

a(b+c) = ab+ac

For example,

suppose a=1, b=2, c=3

1(2+3) = 1(2) + 1(3)

5 = 2+3 = 5

  • <em>Subtraction property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a-c = b-c

For example,

suppose a=1, b=1, c=3

if a = b ⇒ 1 = 1

then a-c = b-c ⇒ 1-3 = 1 - 3  ⇒ -2 = -2

  • <em>Addition property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a+c = b+c

For example,

suppose a=1, b=1, c=3

if a = b ⇒ 1 = 1

then a+c = b+c ⇒ 1+3 = 1+3  ⇒ 4 = 4

  • <em>Multiplicative property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a×c = b×c

For example,

suppose a=1, b=1, c=3

if a = b ⇒ 1 = 1

then a×c = b×c ⇒ 1×3 = 1 × 3  ⇒ 3 = 3

  • <em>Division property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a÷c = b÷c

For example,

suppose a=1, b=1, c=3

if a = b ⇒ 1 = 1

then a÷c = b÷c ⇒ 1÷3 = 1 ÷ 3  ⇒ 1/3 = 1/3

Let's solve the given equation using the above properties.

5(x+10) = 20        Given

5x+50 = 20          1) Distriburive property ∵ a(b+c) = ab+ac

5x = -30               2) Subtraction property of Equality ∵ if (a=b), then a-c = b-c

x = -6                    3) Division property of Equality  ∵ if (a=b), then a÷c = b÷c

A grocer buys food from three suppliers. The suppliers deliver every 5 days, 6 days, and 7 days. All three came today. In how ma
AlekseyPX

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

For getting this answer we need to find the minimum common multiplier, this is, the smaller number that is multiple of all 5, 6 and 7.

For example, 30 is multiple of both 5 and 6, son in 30 days two suppliers will come, but not the third, as 30 is not a multiple of 7.

Let's try with the next multiple of 5 and 6, this is 60, but is not a multiple of 7.

The next is 90, but again not multiple of 7. Niether are the next: 120, 150, 180.

But when we arrive to 210 we see that, as we are going from multiples of 5 and 6, and 210/7=30, 210 is also multiple of 7.

So, the answer is 210.
