8 nickels, because 8 (nickels) × 5 (worth) = 40
24 dimes, because 8 × 3 = 24 24 × 10 = 240
240 + 40 = 280
The first number in this item can be also expressed as 2.3 x 10³. Now, dividing the numbers 2.3 and 0.4 will give us an answer of 5.75. There exists a rule which states that when two similar numbers are divided only having different exponents, their exponents should be subtracted. The final answer to this item is therefore,
5.75 x 10¹¹
Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
