The midpoint between these two would be -7, as you would add these two numbers, and then divide by two.
2=8x-2/9
add 2/9 to both sides
2 and 2/9=8x
2=18/9
2 and 2/9=18/9+2/9=20/9
20/9=8x
multiply both sides by 9
20=72x
divide boht isdes by 72
20/72=x=5/18
the answer is A. m=7t You get your answer by dividing 7 into m
m=10.5 miles 10.5 divided by 7 equals 1.5 time is 1.5 hours
The order of arithmetic operations is given by the acronym PEMDAS, which means
Parentheses,
Exponents,
Multiplication,
Division,
Addition,
Subtraction.
These two examples illustrate how the use of parentheses can change the order.
Example 1:
5+7/3x4-2/5 has an answer of 13.933.
Use PEMDAS to obtain
5+(7/3)x4-(2/5)
= 5+(2.3333x4)-0.4
= 5+9.3333-0.4
= 14.3333-0.4
= 13.933
If we apply the parentheses: (5+7)/3x4-2/5
The result is
(12/3)x4-(2/5)
= (4x4)-0.4
= 16-0.4
= 15.06
which is a different answer.
Example 2:
8/3²x5+4 has the answer 8.444
Use PEMDAS to obtain
8/(3²)x5+4
= (8/9)x5+4
= (0.8889x5)+4
= 4.4444+4
= 8.4444
If we apply the parentheses (8/3)²x5+4:
The result is
2.6667²x5+4
= 7.1113x5+4
= 35.5565+4
= 39.5565
which is a different answer.
