Answer:

According to PEDMAS , We first simplify the PARENTHESES

[5 · (2 – 4)] = [5· -2] = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given expression  [–23 – [5 · (2 – 4)]] ÷ 32

We have to find the  first step to simplify the given expression.

We apply PEDMAS

P stands for PARENTHESES

E  stands for EXPONENTS

D stands for DIVIDE

M  stands for MULTIPLY

A stands for ADDITION

S stands for SUBTRACTION.

So, according to PEDMAS , We first simplify the PARENTHESES

Thus, [5 · (2 – 4)] = [5· -2] = -10

<em>Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

<u>Short answer: 2 - 4
</u>
Why?

When you have an equation with parenthesis, you do those first. When you have parenthesis <u>inside</u> of parenthesis, you do <u>that</u> first.

Hope this helped you! ♥</em>

Galina-37 [17]
Let p= the price of a ticket
Let c= the cost to put on the show

Formula:
(profit) = (ticket price) * (number of people) - (cost to put on show)
We have two equations here:
500=120p-c
400=100p-c
Solve:
100=20p
⇒p=5
⇒400=100(5)-c
⇒400=500-c
⇒c=100

So the price of a ticket is $5, and the cost to put on the show is $100.

The height of a triangle is 7 cm longer than its base.
katrin [286]
A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B)  .5*height^2  -3.5*height = 60
B)  .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60

Points E, F, and D are on circle C, and angle G measures 60°. The measure of arc EF equals the measure of arc FD.
galben [10]

Answer:

∠EFD ≅ ∠EGD ⇒ A

Arc ED ≅ arc FD ⇒ C

m arc FD = 120° ⇒ E

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some facts

  1. Equal chords subtended equal arcs
  2. The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of the central angle which subtended by the same arc
  3. The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its subtended arc
  4. If one angle of an isosceles triangle measure 60° then the triangle is equilateral
  5. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

In the quadrilateral  CDGE

∵ m∠G = 60°

∵ m∠GDC = m∠GEC = 90°

- By using the 5th rule above

∴ m∠G + m∠GDC + m∠DCE + m∠GEC = 360°

∴ 60 + 90 + m∠DCE + 90 = 360

∴ 240 + m∠DCE = 360

- Subtract 240 from both sides

∵ m∠DCE = 120°

In circle C

∵ ∠DCE is a central angle subtended by arc DE

∵ ∠DFE is an inscribed angle subtended by arc DE

- By using the 2nd rule above

∴ m∠DFE = \frac{1}{2} m∠∠DCE

∵ m∠DCE = 120°

∴ m∠DFE = \frac{1}{2} (120)

∴ m∠DFE = 60°

- That means ∠EFD ≅ ∠EGD because their measure is 60°

∴ ∠EFD ≅ ∠EGD

In Δ EFD

∵ EF = FD

∵ m∠DFE = 60°

- By using the 4th rule above

∴ Δ EFD is an equilateral triangle

∴ ED = FD = FE

In circle C

∵ Side ED subtended by arc ED

∵ Side FD subtended by FD

∵ Side ED ≅ side FD ⇒ proved

- By using the 1st rule above

∴ Arc ED ≅ arc FD

∵ m∠ECD = 120°

∵ ∠ECD is a central angle subtended by arc ED

- By using the 3rd rule above

∴ m∠ECD = m arc ED

∴ m of arc ED = 120°

∵ Arc ED ≅ arc FD

∴ m arc ED = m arc FD

∴ m arc FD = 120°

sveta [45]

Answer:

log(32/125)

=log32 - log125 [log(x/y)=log(x) - log(y)]

=log(2)^2 - log(5)^3

=2log2-3log5 [log(x)^p=p log x]

=2a-3b
