Evaluate the expression form of the instructions.

(((3x-4)*2+20)/6)-x

Distribute the 2
((6x-8+20)/6)-x

Combine like terms
(6x+12)/6-x

Divide by 6
x+2-x

Add and subtract
2

Final answer: 2
Explanation: When you simplify the expression using the order of operations, the numbers cancel each other out. The variable x, is also cancelled out and the only remaining constant is 2.

√3=1.732 find the value of√75+1/2√48-√198

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

12.124-3 $\sqrt{22}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{5^{2}*3} \\$

$\sqrt{48}= \sqrt{2^{2}*2^{2}*3} \\$

$\sqrt{198} =\sqrt{3^{2}*2*11} \\$

$\sqrt{75} +\frac{1}{2} *\sqrt{48} - \sqrt{198} \\\\\sqrt{5^{2}*3} +\frac{1}{2} *\sqrt{2^{2}*2^{2}*3} - \sqrt{3^{2}*2*11} \\\\5\sqrt{3} +\frac{1}{2} *4 \sqrt{3} - 3 \sqrt{2*11} \\\\5\sqrt{3} +2 \sqrt{3} - 3 \sqrt{22} \\\\5*1.732 +2*1.732 - 3 \sqrt{22} \\\\8.66 + 3.464 - 3 \sqrt{22}\\\\12.124- 3 \sqrt{22}$
