To solve this problem, we should understand how order of operations works. Perhaps the best way to show you this would be solving the problem with all of the work clearly labeled?
=4[2(21-17)+3] Original Problem
=4[2(4)+3] Solved the Parentheses
=4[8+3] Multiplied the 2 and 4
=4[11] Added the 8 and 3
=44 Multiplied the 4 and 11
An easy way to remember this is PEMDAS, which is an acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. Although it will not apply in this scenario (because we have brackets), it will come in handy for many others like this.
Using all of the information above, we can conclude that this expression equals 4.
You divide by the greatest common factor which is 25 to get
8:12:18 then the next gcf which is 2 to get
4:6:9
Answer:
m= 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Move the terms so that will be 3m - 2m=-1/2 + 3/5
2. Subtract the m values so that will be 3m - 2m= 1 or m
3. Calculate the sum.
4. So the answer will be m= 1/10. M because we subtracted 2 from 3 which make us 1 so we say it m and 1/10 by doing 1/2 + 3/5.
Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
