so sum means add
difference means subtract
represent as x and y
x+y=55 times (x-y)
find ratio of numbers
solve for one placeholder and simplify
solve for y
distributiver property a(b-c)=ab-ac
55(x-y)=55x-55y

Answer:

Step C is incorrect: When you simplify exponents the rules are: for adding or subtracting, the base and the exponent must be equal; when multiplying the base must be the same, and the exponents will add; when dividing the base must be the same and the exponent will subtract.

Step D is incorrect: The last division is wrong, you could treat it with the general rule of exponents, subtracting the exponents of the base 10.

The correct procedure of each step is:

C. [tex]29.14*10^{(2+4)}[/tex]

D. [tex]2.914*10^{5}[/tex]
