4000 (4x10^3) times 400 (4x10^2) is equal to 16x10^5 ( 1,600,000)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the 5 into the parentheses (multiply them both by 5)

Subtract the 6.5 from -25.

Divide -31.5 by 15.5.

Answer: A; 6.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem 1
For the first problem, we first want to find y so that we can plug it into the expression.
We can use elimination method for the system of equations to solve.
3x+3y=21
3x-y=5
We subtract both equations to eliminate x.
4y=16 [divide both sides by 4]
y=4
Now that we know y, we can plug it into the expression.
[divide]
[subtract]

We know that the answer is A.

Problem 2
For the second problem, we need to know how to calculate percent error. The formula for precent error is
. We know that the exact value is 80 because the buyer was supposed to given 80. 75 is the measured value because that was what the buyer was given.
[subtract]
[solve absolue value]
[divide]
[multiply]

Since the problem said to round to one decimal place, we know that the answer is 6.3%.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
General equations are in the form 
So you can add 6 to both sides to make:
