Answer:
x=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
15x+8=-2+14x
15x-14x=-2-8
x=-10
Order of Operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction), can help to simplify an equation by guiding you through the steps to solve it.
This is because it tells you to solve the parentheses. If there is none, but you've already done this, you solve for exponents, etc.
The progressive soling of the equation not only makes it physically shorter, but also brings you closer to the answer.
Hope this helps, and I was the brainliest! :)
Answer:
They will pay the same amount!
The "dot product" of two vectors has several different formulas.
Since you are given the x- and y-coordinates of both vectors a and b, we can apply the formula
a dot b = ax*bx + ay*by, where ax=x-component of vector a, by=y comp of vector b, and so on.
So, for the problem at hand, ax * bx + ay * by becomes
3(-2) + (-8)(-6) = -6 + 48 = 42 (answer). Note that the dot product (or "scalar product" is itself a scalar.
