18 – 3(4-6) *2

Parenthesis first:

18 - 3(-2) *2

Multiplication from left to right:

18 +6*2 = 18 +12

Addition:

18 + 12 = 30

Hi there! :)

Answer:

$\boxed{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

HINT: PEMDAS

Parenthesis

Exponent

Multiply

Divide

Add

Subtract

LEFT/RIGHT

First, you do parenthesis.

$(4-6)=-2$

$18-3(-2)*2$

Then, you multiply from left/right.

$3(-2)*2=-12$

$18-(-12)$

Add by the numbers from left/right.

$18+12=30$

$\boxed{30}$ , is the FINAL/CORRECT ANSWER!

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

ASAP someone please simply two exponents

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

1.) $m^{15}$

2.) $=\frac{1}{y^{15}}$

Give me a comment if you want the explanation.

1.) $\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule:\:}\left(a^b\right)^c=a^{bc},\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$\left(m^3\right)^5=m^{3\cdot \:5}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:3\cdot \:5=15$

$=m^{15}$

2.) $\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule:\:}\left(a^b\right)^c=a^{bc},\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$\left(y^{-3}\right)^5=y^{-3\cdot \:5}$

$=y^{-3\cdot \:5}$

$=y^{-15}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$

$=\frac{1}{y^{15}}$

What is the mean absolute deviation for the data set? {10, 15, 18, 20, 24}

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

3.92

To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding the mean of the data set.

Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values.

Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.

Find the sum of the absolute values of the differences.

Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.
