In this problem the letters x and y are each one digit numbers. Compare x+y O 19?
Do I put any number for x and y ? please help.
no
A seismograph 300 km from the epicenter of an earthquake recorded a maximum amplitude of 5.5 102 µm. Find this earthquake's magnitude on the Richter scale. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
To compare whether the sum of x and y is greater than 19, you will need to try different combinations of single-digit numbers for x and y.
Start by trying the smallest possible values for x and y, which are both 0. In this case, 0 + 0 = 0, which is not greater than 19.
Next, you can try other combinations of single-digit numbers for x and y. For example, you can try x = 1 and y = 0, which gives you 1 + 0 = 1. Again, this is not greater than 19.
Keep trying different combinations until you find a pair of numbers for x and y where their sum is greater than 19. For instance, if you try x = 9 and y = 9, you get 9 + 9 = 18, which is not greater than 19.
Based on this process, you would conclude that there are no combinations of single-digit numbers for x and y that would make x + y greater than 19.
