Asia is the largest of the world’s seven continents with an area of approximately 1.7 times 10 Superscript 7 square miles. Australia, the smallest continent, has an area of approximately 3.1 times 10 Superscript 6 square miles. How much larger is Asia than Australia? Express the answer in scientific notation. 1.40 times 10 Superscript 6 square miles 2.93 times 10 Superscript 6 square miles 1.39 times 10 Superscript 7 square miles 2.01 times 10 Superscript 7 square miles

the answer to the question is a  

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

12

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
