The rule is the number divided by 5
Remember: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally (PEMDAS)
In solving algebraic expressions, there is an order in which to solve it.
<span>1) perform the operation inside the </span>parenthesis<span> first </span>
<span>2) then perform the operation with the </span>exponents
<span>3) apply </span>multiplication<span> and </span>division<span> from left to right of the equation.</span>
<span>4) apply </span>addition<span> and </span>subtraction<span> from left to right of the equation.</span>
26/44 - 18/44 = 8/44
26 - 18 = 8
even though it is subtraction, you do not subtract the bottom numbers (denominator).
so your answer is 8/44
if you simplify it, you will get 4/22 and then 2/11
your simplified answer is 2/11 (is this on there?)
hope this helps
This A(n) = (24 members) + 5(members/week)(n-1) is correct, provided that we define the domain as [1, infinity). Thus, if n=1, A(1) = 24 + 5(0) = 24, which is correct.
