PEMDAS is very helpful. Without pemdas, people solve equations differently. For example, 2 + 3 * 2. Using pemdas, we knoow 2 + 3 * 2 = 8
However, without pemdas, someone could do 2 + 3, which is 5, then *2. Which would get 10.
PEMDAS is important to keep order.
Answer:
31.2 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 2x = weight of oranges
5x = weight of apples
6x = weight of pears
2x + 5x + 6x = total weight
2x = 4.8
x = 2.4
4.8 + 5(2.4) + 6(2.4) = 4.8 + 12 + 14.4
= 31.2 lbs

Answer:
after 7 minutes
19,600 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the "pencil and paper" solution:
The two altitude equations are ...
y = 41300 -3100x
y = 2800x
They can be solved by setting the expressions for y equal to each other.
2800x = 41300 -3100x
5900x = 41300
x = 41300/5900 = 7
y = 2800·7 = 19600
The planes will both be at 19,600 feet after 7 minutes.
Answeryes
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below,
R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720
Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.
