How do you know the correct order in which to evaluate algebraic expressions?

To evaluate algebraic expressions there is no order. You just need to follow something called pemdas. The way to remember this is

p = please
e = excuse
m = my
d = dear
a= aunt
s = sally

So just remember Please excuse my dear aunt sally or pemdas.

P = parentheses (Apply from left tor right)
E = exponent (Apply from left tor right)
M = multiplication (Apply from left tor right)
D = division (Apply from left tor right)
A = addition (Apply from left tor right)
S = subtraction (Apply from left tor right)

Then solve!

Hope this helps!! xD

In solving algebraic expressions, there is an order in which to solve it.

1) perform the operation inside the parenthesis first
2) then perform the operation with the exponents
3) apply multiplication and division from left to right of the equation.
4) apply addition and subtraction from left to right of the equation.

Remember this: PEMDAS for easier recall. (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

Lacey has a 20% off coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond She wants to buy a beach towel priced at $15. If she uses her coupon what is

horsena [70]

10% of $15 = 15/10= 1.5
1.5 x 2= 3 = 20%
15-3=12
Therefore the towel will be $12 with a 20% of coupon

Consider the equation ay'' + by' + cy = d, where a, b, c, and d are constants. (a) find all equilibrium, or constant, solutions

Orlov [11]

Rewrite equation so that it is homogeneous .
$ay'' +by' + cy = 0$

Solve characteristic equation:
$ar^2 +br + c = 0 \\ \\ r = \frac{(-b) \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

The solutions to the homogeneous equation are:
$y = k_1 e^{r_1 t} + k_2 e^{r_2 t}$

Finally you need the constant term in "cy" to equal 'd' to satisfy the particular solution.
$y= k_1 e^{r_1 t} + k_2 e^{r_2 t} + \frac{d}{c}$
