Answer:
D. 18.68
Step-by-step explanation:

Applying PEMDAS as order of operations.
Solving the exponents first ![[(\frac{2}{5})^2=\frac{4}{25}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%29%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%5D)

Multiplying ![[53\times \frac{4}{25}=8.48]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B53%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%3D8.48%5D)

Dividing ![[27\div \frac{5}{3}=16.2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B27%5Cdiv%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%3D16.2%5D)

Adding and subtracting.

Answer:
17, 19, 21
Step-by-step explanation:
If we denote the smallest number as x, then the middle number will be x + 2 and the largest number will be x + 2 + 2.
The equation is:
x + (x + 2) = 3 * (x + 2 + 2) - 27
2x + 2 = 3x + 12 - 27
2x - 3x = 12 - 27 - 2
-x = -17
x = 17
The numbers are: 17, 19, 21
Let's check to be sure:
17 + 19 = 36
3 * 21 - 27 = 63 - 27 = 36
These Are Less Than(<) and Greater Than(>) Symbols!!

Answer:
30. 2x²-x-1=0
or, 2x²-2x+x-1=0
or, 2x(x-1)+1(x-1)=0
or, (x-1)(2x+1)=0
so, x-1 = 0 or, x = 1
and 2x+1 = 0 or, 2x = -1 or, x = -1/2
so, x = 1 and 1/2
31. 3x²-14x=5
or, 3x²-14x-5=0
or, 3x²-15x+x-5=0
or, 3x(x-5)+1(x-5)=0
or, (x-5)(3x+1)=0
so, x-5=0 or, x=5
and 3x+1=0 or, 3x=-1 or, x=-1/3
so, x = 5 and -1/3
