The order of arithmetic operations is given by the acronym PEMDAS, which means
Parentheses,
Exponents,
Multiplication,
Division,
Addition,
Subtraction.

These two examples illustrate how the use of parentheses can change the order.

Example 1:
5+7/3x4-2/5 has an answer of 13.933.

Use PEMDAS to obtain
5+(7/3)x4-(2/5)
= 5+(2.3333x4)-0.4
= 5+9.3333-0.4
= 14.3333-0.4
= 13.933

If we apply the parentheses: (5+7)/3x4-2/5
The result is
(12/3)x4-(2/5)
= (4x4)-0.4
= 16-0.4
= 15.06
which is a different answer.

Example 2:
8/3²x5+4 has the answer 8.444

Use PEMDAS to obtain
8/(3²)x5+4
= (8/9)x5+4
= (0.8889x5)+4
= 4.4444+4
= 8.4444

If we apply the parentheses (8/3)²x5+4:
The result is
2.6667²x5+4
= 7.1113x5+4
= 35.5565+4
= 39.5565
which is a different answer.

To find whether there is an association between these two let us find the correlation coefficient between these two variables.

r=-0.1975

Since |r|<0.5, correlation is weak.  

Let us test the hypothesis r =0

H0:r=0

Ha:r not equals 0

Test statistic = \frac{r\sqrt{n-2} }{\sqrt{1-r^2} } \\=\frac{-0.1975\sqrt{11-2} }{\sqrt{1-0.1975^2} }\\=\frac{-0.5625}{{0.9803} } \\=-0.5738

p =0.298

Since p value >0.10, at 90% significance level we accept that there is no association.

PLEASE HELP PLEASE PLEASE
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: The value of x =2 units.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

AD= CD

BE= EA

So, we get that D and E are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively.

So, by Mid- point theorem , which states that the line joining the two midpoints is parallel to third side and it is half in length of third side i.e.

DE=\frac{1}{2}BC

So, we put the value of DE  and BC ,

5x-3=\frac{1}{2}\times (x+12)\\\\2(5x-3)=x+12\\\\10x-6=x+12\\\\10x-x=12+6\\\\9x=18\\\\x=\frac{18}{9}=2

Hence, the value of x =2 units.
