19x-53 / x^2 + x + 2
You want to put a - ( 19 x / x^2 + x + 2 - 53/x^2 +x +2)
4 to the power of negative two beacause u add the exponents 6+ negative 8
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
Yes, 104.12 is greater than 104.002
because 104.12 rounds up to 104.1
and 104.002 rounds up to 104.0
