Answer:
0.01
Step-by-step explanation:
you just have to do the opposite. Since the is n*-5/8 you want to use inverse operation and do -0.4 divided by -5/8 when you do that you end up with 0.01. So the value of n is 0.01
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

a) You put the scientific notation in expanded form, 671,000,000. From there just divide it by 60. 11,183,333.333 miles per minute.
b) Take the miles/minute rate and multiply it by 8.3; 92821666.6667 miles per 8.3 minutes.
Hope this helps :)
Lets try 96
4 x ?= 96
? = 96/4
= 24
So we see that 4 times 24 is close to 97.
The answer is 3.5 & 355 because the decimal shifts to the left or right, you move the decimal in the answer too.
