Given x less than y, compare the following expressions and determine which is greater: 2x-y;2y-x. Explain your answer.

24 × 10 = 240
24 × 10 × 10 = 24 × 100 = 2400
24 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 24 × 1000 = 24000
24 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 24 × 10000 = 240000

Answer:

24 × 10⁴

There were 30 adults and 10 children, totaling 40 attendees. Just sum them together.

Response:

• Solution for x is 1

Detailed explanation:

Line PU acts as a transversal intersecting parallel lines QR and ST

The angles PRQ and UST sum to 180 degrees

• 15(x+2) = 180 - 135
• 15x + 30 = 45
• 15x = 15
• x = 1

There are 50 pairs of whole numbers that can add up to 99. To clarify, consider the combinations: 0 + 99, 1 + 98, 2 + 97, and so on, up to 49 + 50. This observation indicates that counting all combinations would result in 50 pairs of distinct whole numbers that sum to 99. I hope this response assists you!
