Remember P.E.M.D.A.S
57 - 12 ÷ 4 · 3
= 57 - 3 · 3
= 57 - 9
= 48
Type into your calculator (if you haven't already): log 54.
My result: was similar to yours.
Note, however, that we're supposed to round off these results to the nearest thousandths (not thousand).
Your 1.73239 would need to be rounded off to 1.732, with 2 being the nearest thousandths.
Part A Simplify:
Answer is - 12b + 6c + 18
Part B
Answer is (D)
Factor/simplify
- 12b + 6c + 18
6(- 2b + c + 3)
= (6)(- 2b + c + 3)
= (6)(- 2b ) + (6)(c) + (6)(3)
= - 12b + 6c + 18
therefore,- 12b + 6c + 18; Factored in GCF is 6(-2b + c + 3)
- 12b + 6c + 18
reorder the terms
18 + 12b + 6c
Factor out the GCF " 6"
6(3 + 2b + c)
Final Result:
6(3 + 2b + c)
Hope this helps
