Imagine your friend uses long division to determine the quotients, and is confused by how quickly you were able to determine the correct answer without performing long division. Explain how you were able to determine the quotients without performing long division.-2.48 divided by 12.4-12.5 divided by -0.025

20

step-by-step explanation:

assuming you meant there are 24 pounds of apples in each case, if this is not what you meant, correct me so i can you further

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
