In the order of operation, multiplying or dividing don't take preference over the other. So with them, you work from left to right.
This means for this question, you first divide, then multiply.
Your Answer Is 40 It’s Simple Really If You Kinda Think About It But Has A Fraction It Would Be 40/1
Cost of Lightbulb = x
cost of switch is x-8
9x + 4(x-8) = 520.50
Use distributive property:
9x + 4x -32 = 520.50
Simplify:
13x -32 = 520.50
Add 32 to both sides:
13x = 552.50
Divide both sides by 13
X = 42.50
A lightbulb costs $42.50
A switch costs 42.50-8 = $34.50
