You have to use PEMDAS:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, do parentheses.
32 - 42 = -10
22 + -10 = 12
Answer = 12
Hope this helped
Have a great day :)
Exact form: b= 22/5
Decimal form: b= 4.4
Mixed number form: b= 4 2/5
(x + 5)(x + 3)
x+5=0, solve it and you get -5.
x+3=0, solve it and you get -3.
The answers are -5 and -3.
