Yes, the rules of scientific notation are:
1. All non-zero digits are significant
2. Zeros in between non-zeros are significant.
3. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero number are NOT significant.
4. Zeros to the right of non-zero numbers are significant IF a decimal point is present.
P.S: if you need help with sig fig rounding, let me know.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
6a = (a*-3) + 45
then:
6a = -3a + 45
6a + 3a = 45
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5
Check:
6*5 = (5*-3) + 45
30 = -15 + 45
350 dollars for the kayak + 1.50 for the fee + the 10.23 interest for the three months = 361.73
If they proportional, it implies
(x+2)/(x-1) = 8/10
Or 10x +20 = 8x-8
Or 2x = -28 or x = -14
