Answer:

5 x 2 inside the parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

We need an order of operations to ensure we always arrive at the correct answer. It gives us a consistent way to work with numbers. We use the mnemonic device like PEMDAS to remember the correct order.

P-parenthesis

E-exponents

M-multiplication

D-division

A-add

S-subtract.

We apply them left to right doing inner operations before outer operations.

There fore our first step is in the parenthesis and multiplication because it is the inner most operations. 5 x 2 inside the parenthesis.

Novosadov [1.4K]

24p² + pq - 23q² =

= 24p² + 24pq - 23pq - 23q²

= 24p(p + q) - 23q(p + q)

= (p + q)(24p - 23q)

a pet store has 7 cats here are their weights 12, 12, 9, 16, 11, 11, 9 find the mean weighy of these cats

shusha [124]

Answer:

The mean weight of the cats is 11.42 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, you add up all the weights (12, 12, 9, 9, 11, 11, 16) and then divided the sum (80) of the weights by the number of cats (7)

12+12+9+9+11+11+16= 80

80 ÷ 7= 11.42857143 (I rounded my answer to 11.42)

I hope this was helpful. Have a wonderfull rest of your day!
