Feel free to ask any questions as to what I did
According to PEMDAS, you would look in the parenthesis first. In the first set of parenthesis we have an exponent. 10x10x10x10 is 10,000. Then we multiply this by 2.5. We now have 25,000. We put this to the side..
Next, we do the same thing on the other side -- 10x10x10 is 1,000 and then you multiply that answer by 1.5 and we have 1,500. Now we can subtract. 25,000 - 1500 = 23,500 :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem, the hot-air ballon and the wind are movind in the same direction, which means the component form of the velocity of the ballon is the net vector between both velocities.
Basically, the net velocity is

Because both velocities have the same direction.
Assuming they are moving in a horizontal direction, the component of this velocity is

The answer to this question is 4v+8
12v+3-6v-9=2v-14+w
12v+3-6v-9-2v+14=w
12v-6v-2v+14-9+3=w
6v-2v+5+3=w
4v+8=w
