To solve this, we need to follow <em>PEMDAS </em>(Order of Operations)
P: Parenthesis
E: Exponents
M: Multiplication
D: Division
A: Addition
S: Subtraction
Following this order of math will get you your answer for any math problem.
First we'll do -4*1/3, which gets us -4/3. Then we'll add 5 to get

You need to calculate the square feet of the ceiling, so you multiply the dimensions of the ceiling.
<span>35(40)=1400ft^2 </span>
<span>now, you know that for every 100 square feet you need a specific # of pots, so you divide 1400 by 100. </span>
<span>1400/100=14 </span>
<span>now we know that there are 14 areas of 100 where you can place 2-3 pots. </span>
<span>so, you multiply 14 by 2 & by 3 </span>
<span>14(2)=28 </span>
<span>14(3)=42 </span>
<span>so you know that you can have between 28-42 pots.</span>
X-13<64
X<77
That's your answer.
N = number
s = second number
n = s - 13
s = 54 + 10
s = 64
Plug in 64 for s
n = (64) - 13
n = 51
C) 51 is your answer
hope this helps
