Answer:

The two numbers are:

30 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 48

a - b = 12

From the first eq.

a = 48 - b

Replacing this last value in the second eq.

(48 - b) - b = 12

48 - 2b = 12

48 - 12 = 2b

36 = 2b

36/2 = b

18 = b

from the first eq.

a + 18 = 48

a = 48 - 18

a = 30

Check:

from the second eq.

a - b = 12

30 - 18 = 12

Write 2.7 x 10^4 + 120 in scientific notation.
ryzh [129]

Hey there!

2.7 * 10^4 + 120

10^4

= 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 100 * 100

= 10,000

2.7 * 10,000 + 120

= 27,000 + 120

= 27,120

Therefore, your answer is. [10,000 * 2.712] because 10,000 * 2.712 is approximately 27,120

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
