Find the value of 7 + 32 (-5 + 1) ÷ 2. A. 25 B. 32 C. -11
1 answer:
Answer:
- as written, -57
- as perhaps intended, C. -11
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression shown evaluates as ...
7 + 32(-5 +1)/2 = 7 +32(-4)/2 = 7 -128/2 = 7 -64 = -57
_____
If we assume your "32" is supposed to be 3², or 3^2, then the expression evaluates differently:
7 +3²(-5 +1)/2 = 7 + 9(-4)/2 = 7 -36/2 = 7 -18 = -11 . . . . matches choice C
_____
When in doubt, you can have the Google calculator evaluate your expression. However, you do have to write it properly and with all the required parentheses.

the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.
the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.
a)
if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6 = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.
b)
clearly we can never get an output of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.
let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so
so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.
so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.
