How does the order of steps in solving an equation relate to order of operations

1 answer:

5 0

If you dont follow the right steps in the right order or properly, you won't end up with the right answer:
For example 3 x 5 + 7
If you do multiplication then add you get 22 which is correct.... but!!
If you add then do multiplication you get 36 which isn't right

Remember always follow PEMDAS
P-Parenthesis
E-Exponents
M or D- Multiplication or division (go left to right)
A or S- Addition or Subtraction (go left to right)

Substitution method need help for home work

Marizza181 [45]

-3y = x...so we sub in -3y for x in the other equation

-x + 7y = 70
-(-3y) + 7y = 70
3y + 7y = 70
10y = 70
y = 70/10
y = 7

so we sub in 7 for y in either of the original equations to find x
-3y = x
-3(7) = x
-21 = x

so ur solution is (-21,7)

Answer is <span>C. 9x-2y=-40

hope that helps

because y = 9/2x +20 then 2y = 9x + 40 so 9x -2y = -40
