Answer:

B. 520

Step-by-step explanation:

Partial quotient is simply the method used to find the value of a quotient by dividing bits by bits until you get to the answer. For instance if you want to divide 124/4

Whatever closest multiple of 4 to 124 you remember, write it down. For instance I remember 80 first.

80 is the 20th multiple of 4 (80÷4 = 20).

Then subtract the number from the original number you want to divide

124 – 80 = 44

Again, write down the closest multiple of 44 you remember. To me is 40, and it is the 10th multiple.

Subtract 40 from 44 you have 4 left.

It's now easy to divide 4 by 4 which is 1.

To now get the quotient in total, you'll add up

20 + 10 + 1 = 31.

Therefore, to use partial quotient in this problem, the best choice to begin with will be 520 because it is the 20th multiple of 26. Although 780 is the 30th multiple of 26, 520 will be easier to remember. For this reason, it is the best choice.

Solve for r. <br><br> √2/3r + 1 = 23
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\sqrt{2} }{3} r + 1 = 23 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

\frac{\sqrt{2} }{3} r = 22 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

\sqrt{2} r = 66 ( divide both sides by \sqrt{2} )

r = \frac{66}{\sqrt{2} } × \frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} } ( rationalising the denominator )

r = \frac{66\sqrt{2} }{2} = 33\sqrt{2}

Solve the system of equations. y = -5x + 24 y = 4x - 21 a. ( -5, -1) c. ( -1, 5) b. ( 5, -1) d. No solution
Svetlanka [38]

y = -5x + 24

y = 4x - 21

Since both of these equations are equal to Y, theyre equal to each other.

So we can make an equation with y = -5x + 24 in one side and y = 4x - 21 on the other.

-5x + 24 = 4x - 21

Now in order to get the value of x we need to isolate it in one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:

-5x + 24 - 24 = 4x - 21 - 24

-5x = 4x - 45

Now we subtract 4x from both sides so the 4x shift to the other side

-5x - 4x = 4x - 4x - 45

-9x = -45

Finally divide both sides by -9 so x is by itself

(-9)÷(-9x) = -(45)÷(-9)

x = 5

Since we did all of this to BOTH sides of the equation, both sides are still equal to each other and the equation still is true.

Now apply x = 5 to either of the initial equations to find the value of Y

y = -5x + 24 or y = 4x - 21

(I'll do both but u only need one)

y = -5(5) + 24

y = -25 + 24

y = -1

y = 4(5) - 21

y = 20 - 21

y = -1

Either way, X is 5 and Y is -1

Answer (5, -1)
