0.52 x 0.24 means "about a half times 0.24". Given the multiple choice answers, the correct answer is therefore 0.1224 (since this is the only one smaller than 0.24).
Proof:
0.50 × 0.24 = 0.12
0.01 × 0.24 = 0.0024
And therefore 0.51 × 0.24 = 0.12 + 0.0024 = 0.1224
Answer:
(-5,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.
−2(x+5y=20)
1(2x−7y=−45)
Becomes:
−2x−10y=−40
2x−7y=−45
Add these equations to eliminate x:
−17y=−85
Then solve−17y=−85for y:
(Divide both sides by -17)
y=5
x+5y=20
Substitute 5 for y in x+5y=20:
x+(5)(5)=20
x+25=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)
x+25+−25=20+−25(Add -25 to both sides)
x=-5
Convert the two fractions into simpler fractions: 3 2/5 --> 17/5 and 4 1/5 --> 21/5. Notice the the denominators are identical, so we simply add the numerators: (17 + 21)/5 = 38/5 = 7 3/5.
There is an easier way to do this, this is just the most clear way of seeing everything.
The greatest common factor of 27, 45, and 63 is 9
