Step-by-step explanation:
Ok. First of all, we need to follow the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. We don't have any parentheses, exponents, or division to resolve, so you can skip those. So now you have: Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. We have multiplication in each term, but each term is fully simplified, so we have Addition and Subtraction left.
With that out of the way, let's go ahead and rearrange this equation so it is easier to solve. (<em>Note: we can only rearrange terms that are positive because subtraction is not commutative. But we can turn negative terms into "positive" terms by the method shown below.</em>)
4a - 7b + 2ab - a + b
4a + (-7b) + 2ab + (-a) + b (<em>Now the terms are all positive, so we can rearrange them, but they still have the same value.</em>)
4a + (-a) + 2ab + (-7b) + b
3a + 2ab + 7b
And there we go. Our answer is fully simplified. If you can understand this, you'll be able to simplify without isolating and rearranging the terms each time.
Hopefully this was helpful and not confusing.
1 3/4 for each batch to make 2 1/2 batches you need to take the amount of raisins for one batch 1 3/4 and multiply it by 2 1/2 the amount of batches.
1 3/4*2 1/2= 4 3/8 cups of raisins
Since 3 divides 42, 3xy itself is the greatest common factor of 3xy and 42xy.
Answer: 3xy
Answer:
8.025
Step-by-step explanation:
If you count the zeros in 1000, it's three. Count three starting from the back of 25. Add 0 in front of 25 to make it a three digit number. You then put the decimal point with the whole number.
You probably are interested in expressing the given equation as a quadratic equation in u, as it will make it easy to find the solutions.
Let u = x²
So,
u² = x⁴
So, the given equation can be written as:
u² - 17u + 16 = 0
Now the equation is quadratic in u and the solutions can be calculated using quadratic formula or factorization.
