9-[12(5)] you start with the innermost parenthesis
9-[60] multiply
51. Subtract
P(parentheses)
E (exponents)
M
D (multiply and divide for on left to right)
A
S ( add and subtract from left to right)
Remember that
is
. We know form our problem that
and
, so:
Now, to find
, we just need to evaluate
at 3. In other words, we are going to replace
with 3:
We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>
C.6(3) – 4 + 3^2 </span>
Answer: The number is: "2" .
_______________________________________________________
The expression is: 2 − (½)x = (½)<span>x ;
</span>→<span> in which "x" is the "unknown number".
</span>_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Given:
_________________________________________________________
"Two decreased by a half of a number is one-half<span> of the number" ;
Let "x" represent the "unknown number" for which we wish to solve;
Write the expression as:
_________________________________________________
" </span>2 − (½)x = (½)x " .
_________________________________________________
Note: Add "(½)x" to EACH SIDE of the equation:
_________________________________________________
2 − (½)x + (½)x = (½)x + (<span>½)</span>x ;
to get:
_________________________________________________
→ 2 = 1x ;
↔ 1x = 2 ;
↔ x = 2 .
