Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 digit number be ab = 10a + b ( considering place value )

The reversed  2 digit number is ba = 10b + a

The sum of the 2 digit number is

a + b = 12 ( subtract b from both sides )

a = 12 - b → (1)

Expressing as an equation

ba = ab + 54 , that is

10b + a = 10a + b + 54

Substitute a = 12 - b into the equation

10b + 12 - b = 10(12 - b) + b + 54 , simplify both sides

9b + 12 = 120 - 10b + b + 54

9b + 12 = - 9b + 174 ( add 9b to both sides )

18b + 12 = 174 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

18b = 162 ( divide both sides by 18 )

b = 9

Substitute b = 9 into (1)

a = 12 - 9 = 3

Thus

the original 2 digit number = ab = 39

The reversed 2 digit number = ba = 93

which is 54 more than the original number

Alex
Since 2.5% as a decimal is .025, the equation to get this is:

(.025)(80000)

Once multiplied, these equal 2,000. Or in other words, the Smiths pay $2,000 in school taxes per year.

Solve the following system using elimination:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{2 y - x = 21 | (equation 2)

Add 1/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(16 y)/7 = 128/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/16:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{7 x+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 7:
{x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Collect results:
Answer: {x = -5, y = 8

Use Synthetic Division to divide 6x^3-10x^2+20 by x+1<br><br> Quotient:_____<br><br> Remainder:_____
exis [7]

Answer:

the quotient is 6x^2 - 16x + 16, and the remainder is just 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial 6x^3-10x^2+20 has coefficients {6, -10, 0, 20}.  Division by the binomial x + 1 requires that we use -1 as the divisor.  The synthetic division setup becomes:

-1   /    6    -10    0    20

                 -6    16   -16

     -----------------------------

          6     -16   16       4

Taking the coefficients {6, -16, 16}, we write the quotient as

6x^2 - 16x + 16, and the remainder as just 4.
