It only equals positive 12, that symbol means it equals positive and negative 12
Answer:
45 people are members at the tennis club
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of people in the tennis club be denoted as "x".
Since each of them donated $12.45, then total donated = 12.45x
Since they had $50.25 left over after paying the cost of $510 for the ball, then;
12.45x - 510 = 50.25
12.45x = 510 + 50.25
12.45x = 560.25
x = 560.25/12.45
x = 45
When the number is out of parenthesis it means it is multiplying the number between the parenthesis
example - 3 ( 28 + 32 ) => 3 ( 60)
which means 3 * 60 = 180
Note:- you cannot multiply the numbers when they are 3 ( 28 + 32 ) because you have to use PEMDAS ( order of operation ) to solve the problem where P = parenthesis , E = exponents, M = multiplication, D = divide , A = addition , S = subtract.
