Answer: Maria has 10 bills of 5€ and 10 bills of 10€.
She has a total of 150€.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "f" the number of 5€ bills that Maria has and "t" the number of 10€ bills that Maria has.
Set up a system of equations:
Use the Substitution method to solve the system of equations:
1. Solve for "f" from the first equation:
2. Substitute the equation obtained into the second equation and solve for "t".
Then:
3. Substitute the value of "t" into the equation and evaluate:
Therefore, Maria has 10 bills of 5€ and 10 bills of 10 €.
So the total amount of money she has, is:
She has a total of 150€.
Move the decimal to the right (you go to the right since the exponent is positive, if the exponent was negative then you would move left) seven times, giving you 9,300,000 miles (for Earth). You then do the same with the next equation, giving you 140,000,000 miles (for Mars).
Finally, to find the official number of miles, you simply work the equation 140,000,000 - 9,300,000 .. giving you 130,700,000 miles.
If your teacher wants you to put it back into exponential form, then you first make the number into a decimal that is greater than one and less than ten.

Then, what you want to do is count all of the zeros as a single exponent, giving you 5, but we're not done yet. To get the correct answer, you have to also count the numbers until you reach the decimal. Remember to take out the zeros, because they're not really necessary anymore!
