Depends. It’s called an asterisk. 
In math it’s used for multiplying. 
So 5*5= 25
        
             
        
        
        
That would be
![x =  + \frac{ \sqrt[]{3} }{ \sqrt[]{2} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B3%7D%20%7D%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20)
BTW the plus sign is supposed to have this sign underneath it _ 
Good luck.
 
        
        
        
Hi there! 
Since there are 4 columns of boxes fully shaded in and one other box with one section shaded in out of 6 sections, the answer would be
4 + 1 of 6, or
4 1/6.
Hope this helps!

Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the cost of the desktop
then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.
.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227
.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227
.125x = 218.75
x = 1750
desktop (x) = $1750
laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
