Step-by-step explanation:

The dot is called a decimal point. It is also called the decimal separator. It separates whole numbers from fractional numbers.

In this example;

24.671

The numbers before the point, 24 is the whole number

The numbers after the point, 671 are the fractional portion of the number. They represent 6 tenths, 7 hundredths and 1 thousandths.

Also, the number of digits after the point tells you how many decimal place the number is in. In this example the number of decimal places is 3.

What is the solution(s) to the equation 5a2 - 44 = 81?
taurus [48]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5a^2 - 44 = 81                     Add 44 to both sides

5a^2 = 81 + 44                    Collect like terms

5a^2 = 125                          Divide both sides by 5

a^2 = 125/5                  

a^2 = 25                              Take the square root of both sides

√a^2 = √25

a = +5

a = -5

The answer is B
