So first remember the order of operations. Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, addition, subtraction.

So we have the following problem.

-(3*2)2+4*3-2

Multiply the three and two inside the parentheses first.

-6*2+4*3-2

Next multiply any numbers that need multiplied.

-12+12-2

Next add and subtract from left to right to get an answer of...

-2

Hope this helps!

Given that $x \le -7,$ identify all the correct conclusions. (A) $3x \le -21.$ (B) $3x \ge -21.$ (C) $-3x \le 21.$ (D) $-3x \ge

exis [7]

Answer:

Options A and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality $x\leq -7$ and we are asked to find the correct options from our given choices.

Let us solve inequalities in our given options one by one to see which of these matches with our given inequality.

(A) $3x\leq -21$

$x\leq \frac{-21}{3}$

$x\leq -7$

We can see that option A gives the same answer as our given inequality, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

(B) $3x\geq -21$

$x\geq \frac{-21}{3}$

$x\geq -7$

This inequality represented in option C gives solution that x should be greater than or equal to -7, which is opposite to our given inequality, therefore, option B is incorrect.

Dividing inequality by a negative number swaps inequality sign.

$x\geq \frac{21}{-3}$

$x\geq -7$

This inequality gives solution that x should be greater than or equal to -7, which is opposite to our given inequality, therefore, option C is incorrect.

(D) $-3x\geq 21$

Dividing inequality by a negative number swaps inequality sign.

$x\leq \frac{21}{-3}$

$x\leq -7$

We can see that option D gives the same answer as our given inequality, therefore, option D is the correct choice.

7 7/8 - 3 1/4 equals what

ELEN [110]

The difference of 7 and 7/8 and 3 1/4 can be restated as the difference between 63/8 and 13/4. This is just a change from mixed numbers to improper fractions.

We must now get a common denominator (the bottom part of a fraction). To get 8, we must multiply by 2 to the denominator of 13/4. Since we want this number to stay in the same value, we have to multiply the numerator by 2 as well (top part of the fraction). Therefore, we are getting the difference of 63/8 and 26/8. Doing this, we get (63-26)/8, so the answer is 37/8 = 4 5/8
