Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3.8 x 10^5 + 5.5 x 10^5 = 930,000 or 9.3 x 10^5
You just have to solve the equation and shorten the answer. For number one the answer is 930,000, so you have to make it into a number with decimals since a scientific notation number can not be equal to 10 or be greater. So you have to round the number to 9.3 not 93. To "round" it to 9.3 you have to move the decimal at the end of 930,000 to be in between the numbers 9 and 3. How many times you move the decimal to the left or right, that is the exponent of 10. So for 930,000 you moved the decimal 5 times to the left so the exponent for 10 is positive 5.
Answer: Choice A. (8, 4)
==========================================================
Explanation:
Because x = 2y, we can replace every copy of x with 2y
Let's do so in the second equation
3x - 4y = 8
3(x) - 4y = 8
3(2y) - 4y = 8 .... x replaced with 2y; now let's isolate y
6y - 4y = 8
2y = 8
y = 8/2 ..... divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Use this y value to find x
x = 2y
x = 2*4
x = 8
So we have x = 8 and y = 4 pair together to get the answer (x,y) = (8, 4) which is choice A.
