The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:

4 / 2 - 1

The proper order of operations would be:

Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1

But if subtracting was done before dividing:

4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4

So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.

Six years after a tree was planted, its height was 7 feet. Nine years after it was planted, its height was 16 feet. Which of the
pychu [463]
Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height

Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7

9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16

With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.

To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )


Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11

Rite an algebraic expression to represent "five plus the quotient of r and 14."
hichkok12 [17]
The answer is 3) 5+r/14

Let's go segment by segment:
<span>"five plus" means addition, so we have 5 +

</span><span>"the quotient of r and 14" is the division result, so sign / must be present: 14/r
</span>
Therefore "five plus the quotient of r and 14" is 5 + 14/r
