You start with f(x)=8-3(3)². Then, going in order of PEMDAS, you start with your exponent. So you have f(x)=8-3(9). Then multiplication, f(x)=8-27. Then your subtraction. f(x)=-19
Answer:
$5.71
Step-by-step explanation:
20-5.88=14.12
14.12-8.41=5.71
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by adding 9 to both sides, obtaining: √(x + 9) = 5.
Square both sides, obtaining: x + 9 = 25.
Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 16
Note that √(16+9) - 9 = -4, as required.
