Okay, the image is a little tough to see, but I believe it looks something like this:
(5² -10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
The first step [remember PEMDAS] is parentheses
Next comes Exponents:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
Then Multiplication:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 12) - 1
Then Division [which we can't do yet since it isn't fully simplified], so we skip to Addition... nothing again, then subtraction.
(15 / 5) - 1
Then we can divide:
(3) - 1
Then subtract!
2
The answer to your problem is 2.
Hope that helps!
well, we know it's a rectangle, so that means the sides JK = IL and JI = KL, so
![\stackrel{JK}{3x+21}~~ = ~~\stackrel{IL}{6y}\implies 3(x+7)=6y\implies x+7=\cfrac{6y}{3} \\\\\\ x+7=2y\implies \boxed{x=2y-7} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{JI}{6y-6}~~ = ~~\stackrel{KL}{2x+20}\implies 6(y-1)=2(x+10)\implies \cfrac{6(y-1)}{2}=x+10 \\\\\\ 3(y-1)=x+10\implies 3y-3=x+10\implies \stackrel{\textit{substituting from the 1st equation}}{3y-3=(2y-7)+10} \\\\\\ 3y-3=2y+3\implies y-3=3\implies \blacksquare~~ y=6 ~~\blacksquare ~\hfill \blacksquare~~ \stackrel{2(6)~~ - ~~7}{x=5} ~~\blacksquare](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cstackrel%7BJK%7D%7B3x%2B21%7D~~%20%3D%20~~%5Cstackrel%7BIL%7D%7B6y%7D%5Cimplies%203%28x%2B7%29%3D6y%5Cimplies%20x%2B7%3D%5Ccfrac%7B6y%7D%7B3%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20x%2B7%3D2y%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D2y-7%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7BJI%7D%7B6y-6%7D~~%20%3D%20~~%5Cstackrel%7BKL%7D%7B2x%2B20%7D%5Cimplies%206%28y-1%29%3D2%28x%2B10%29%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B6%28y-1%29%7D%7B2%7D%3Dx%2B10%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%203%28y-1%29%3Dx%2B10%5Cimplies%203y-3%3Dx%2B10%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bsubstituting%20from%20the%201st%20equation%7D%7D%7B3y-3%3D%282y-7%29%2B10%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%203y-3%3D2y%2B3%5Cimplies%20y-3%3D3%5Cimplies%20%5Cblacksquare~~%20y%3D6%20~~%5Cblacksquare%20~%5Chfill%20%5Cblacksquare~~%20%5Cstackrel%7B2%286%29~~%20-%20~~7%7D%7Bx%3D5%7D%20~~%5Cblacksquare)

Answer:
4 scoops
Step-by-step explanation:
The recipe calls for 6 scoops
He is making 2/3 of the recipe
Multiply these together
2/3 * 6 =
2/3 *6/1 =
4 scoops
Let x, x+1,x+2, x +3 are the <span>numbers
so
</span>x + x +1 + x +2 +x +3 = 198
4x + 6 = 198
4x =198-6
4x = 192
x = 192/4
x = 48
x + 1 = 48 + 1 = 49
x + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50
x + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51
proof
48 + 49 + 50 + 51 = 198
so the numbers are 48, 49, 50, 51
fourth number in this sequence is 51
