Evaluate the following expression 5(1 3)-3(2 -1)

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem tests your understanding of order of operations rules.

Here you must do any work inside parentheses first, followed by multiplication, followed by subtraction:

5(13) - 3(2 -1) would be 65 -3(1), or 62.

If you actually meant 5(1 - 3) - 3(2 - 1), then you'd have

5(-2) - 3(1) = -10 - 3 = -13

Please compare the problem you've shared with the original problem, to ensure that these match.

If f(x) = x2 – 2x, find:<br> X<br> -<br> f(-3) = [?]

Reptile [31]

Did you mean :

f(x) = x² - 2x, find x = -3

f(-3) = (-3)² - 2(-3)

f(-3) = 9 + 6

f(-3) = 15

The total cost of a jacket and a pair of shoes was $52.95. If the price of the jacket was $3.87 less than the pair of shoes, wha

abruzzese [7]

The price of jacket was $24.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of jacket = x

Cost of pair of shoes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=52.95 Eqn 1

x = y-3.87 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$(y-3.87)+y=52.95\\y-3.87+y=52.95\\2y=52.95+3.87\\2y=56.82\\$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{56.82}{2}\\y=28.41$

Putting y=28.41 in Eqn 2,

$x=28.41-3.87\\x=24.54$

The price of jacket was $24.54
