B = 6,007,058


Which equation relates the two numbers?


(A)

A = 10B


(B)

A = 100B + 58


(C)

B = 10A + 8

Answer: B = 10A + 8

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

This is something you would do through trial and error to check each answer choice

--------------

We can cross off A = 10B since

A = 10B = 10*(6,007,058) = 60,070,580

but that's not what A is actually equal to (it should be 600,705)

---------------

We can also cross off A = 100B + 58 because,

A = 100B + 58

A = 100*(6,007,058) + 58

A = 600,705,800 + 58

A = 600,705,858

But that doesn't match with A = 600,705 either

-----------------

Now let's try the third equation

B = 10A + 8

B = 10(600,705) + 8

B = 6,007,050 + 8

B = 6,007,058

That matches with what your teacher gave you. So this confirms we have the correct equation.

-----------------

I'll let you check the remaining two. You should find that they don't work out.
