How to use the order of operations to simplify
2 answers:
PEMDAS.
P = PARENTHESES
E = EXPONENTS
M = MULTIPLICATION
D = DIVISION
A = ADDITION
S = SUBTRACTION
When using the Order of Operations, you would have to refer to the order in which PEMDAS is used, and the order is listed above. Here, you would probably divide 32 ÷ 2 first because it is in parentheses, and P, the first letter, stands for Parentheses.The answer to that would be 16. Then comes to the exponents.
would be 3 × 3 × 3. This would make 27, since 3 × 3 is 9, and 9 × 3 is 27. And there's the exponents done.
This leaves us with 27 - 16 + 7. Subtraction comes before addition. 27 - 16 would make 11, and 11 + 7 is 18. And there's your answer. 18.

Always, ALWAYS remeber this format: y = mx + b
In this equation, 'm' is the slope, and 'b' is the y-intercept
When you're trying to find a slope, remember that the equation is
When finding the rise and run, look at two points that are on the graph AND on the line as well. Essentially, make sure the points you're using are integers.
In this, case, the rise is -3, and the run is 2. This means that the slope is
Now we have the first part of our equation:
y = - + b
But wait! How do we find b?
Sometimes you have to input x in order to find it, but only when you're not supplied with a graph. In this case, all you have to do is look!
The point of the line that is on the y-axis is called the y-intercept.
In this graph, the y-intercept is -1
Now we have our complete equation!
y = - - 1
Good luck!
