You have to use the order of operations when evaluating algebraic expressions. The m<span>nemonic device is PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. So the first thing is to solve what's in the parentheses.</span>

Answer:

When evaluating an algebraic expression the first thing you do is that you observe what would be the first operation applied on the expression.

In order to determine that you need to know the basic concept of PEMDAS

Where as

P stands for Parentheses (brackets)

E stands for exponents

M stands for multiplication

D stands for division

A stands for addition

S stands for subtraction

This is the order that needs to be kept in mind while solving the expression

The volume of a rectangular prism is 948.6 m3. The prism has a base that is 3.1 m by 5.1 m. Find the height of the prism.

saveliy_v [14]

Just divide 948.6 m^3 by 3.1 m and 5.1 m to get 60 m

Solve for x : log(3x) + log(x + 4) = log(15).<br><br>Please explain it to me.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

$\sf \rightarrow log(3x) + log(x + 4) = log(15)$

Rule: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)

$\sf \rightarrow log(3x(x + 4)) = log(15)$

cancel out log on both sides

$\sf \rightarrow 3x(x + 4) = 15$

relocate constant variable

$\sf \rightarrow 3x^2 + 12x -15 = 0$

take 3 as a common factor

$\sf \rightarrow 3(x^2 + 4x -5) = 0$

divide both sides by 3

$\sf \rightarrow x^2 + 4x -5 = 0$

middle term split

$\sf \rightarrow x^2 + 5x -x-5 = 0$

factor common terms

$\sf \rightarrow x(x + 5) -1(x+5)= 0$

collect into groups

$\sf \rightarrow (x-1)(x+5)= 0$

set to zero

$\sf \rightarrow x-1 = 0 , \ x+5= 0$

relocate variables

$\sf \rightarrow x = 1, \ x = -5$

There must be a positive solution for log, so the solution is only x = 1

John’s heart beat at a rate of 65 beats a minute when he is awake and 50 beats a minute when he sleeps (8 hours). How many times

Anarel [89]

His heart beats 86,400 times within a 24 hour period.
60 minutes in 1 hour, so you would multiply 8 hours by 60 mins, giving you 480 mins. 24 hours- 8 (time he's asleep) will give you 16. 16 * 60 will give you 960 minutes. 480 minutes (when he's asleep) * 50 beats a minute = 24,000.
960 (when he's awake) * 65 beats a minute = 62,400. add 24,000 and 62,400 = 82,400 beats in 24 hours.
