Answer:

The correct way to evaluate this expression is my following the order of operations PEMDAS

P=Paranthesis

E=Exponents

M/D=multiply/divide

A/S=add/subtract

The first step in 48-(29-17) is to do what's inside the paranthesis

48-12 (29-17=12)

Then you would subtract 48-12

48-12=36

Your final answer is

Hope this helps ;)

Jim’s football team started a play on the 50 yard line. On the first play, the team had a 7-yard gain. On the second play, they

lawyer [7]

This is a basic addition/subtraction question. It's saying that they started at the 50 yard line. On the play, they gained 7 yards. So, we'll add 50+7 = 57.

They're at the 57 yard line at this point. On the second play they lost 10 yards (how unfortunate). Thereby, we will subtract 57-10=47.

50 yards +7 yards. -10 yards.

The answer will be that they'll be on the 47 yard line on the next play.

Find the area of the region bounded by the y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y = 1/2.

Ghella [55]

Solution:

As region bounded by y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y=1/2 is a line segment of definite length on y-axis.

We consider a line , one dimensional if it's thickness is negligible.

So, Line is two dimensional if it's thickness is not negligible becomes a quadrilateral.

So, Area (region bounded by y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y=1/2 is a line segment of definite length on y-axis)= Area of line segment between [,y=6 and y=1/2.]= 6-1/2=11/2 units if we consider thickness of line as negligible.
