1/2+4/10 for example
in a decimal way: 1/2+4/10 = 0.5+0.4. add those two and it is 0.9
in a fraction: 1/2+4/10 = 5/10+4/10. add the numerators, which is 9, and you keep the denominator so it is 9/10
Answer:
Read below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wrong:
(2.5 x 10^9) + (5.3 x 10^8) =
(2.5 + 5.3) x (10^9 x 10^8)
=
7.8 x 10^7=
7.8 x 10,000,000=
780,000,000
<u>Bold is edited by me</u>
Correct:
(2.5 x 10^9) + (5.3 x 10^8)=
(2.5 x 1,000,000,000)+(5.3 x 100,000,000)=
2,500,000,000+5,300,000,000=
7,800,000,000
The problem is that whoever wrote it swapped the numbers in the parentheses, added a pair of them together and multiplied the other pair. You are not supposed to take out the pairs and swap them if you'd like or the answer is incorrect. Second mistake is that
is not
I do not know how and where you got that answer from.
A I did it and got it correct
Answer:
(x-8) (x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 -x-56
We want to factor this problem.
What two numbers multiply to negative 56 and add to -1
-8 *7 = -56
-8+7 = -1
We can use -8 and 7
(x-8) (x+7)
Check:
FOIL
first: x*x =x^2
outer: 7x
inner:-8x
last: -8*7 = -56
Add this together
x^2 +7x-8x -56 = x^2 -x-56
