Remember the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction

Solve the expressions in parentheses first.

There is an expression within parentheses that is also in an expression within brackets. Solve that expression first:

6 - 10 = -4

The expression in brackets will now read:

[4 - 3(-4)]

Multiply 3(-4):

3 \cdot -4 = -12

[4 - (-12)]

Solve the expression:

4 - (-12) = 4 + 12 = 16

The problem should now look like this:

(8-2)^2 + \frac{1}{4}(16)

Solve the expression in parentheses that has an exponent:

8 - 2 = 6

(6)^2 = 6 \cdot 6 = 36

Solve the term with 1/4 as a coefficient:

\frac{1}{4}(16) = 4

The expression should now look like this:

36 + 4 =  \boxed{40}

The answer is 40.

(8 - 2)² + 1/4[4 - 3(6 - 10)]

Solve this expression using PEMDAS. (M/D and A/S are not in order, they are solved from left to right)

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication
  4. Division
  5. Addition
  6. Subtraction

According to PEMDAS, we are going to solve inside the parentheses (brackets) first.

Solve (6 - 10) inside the brackets first.

  • (8 - 2)² + 1/4[4 - 3(-4)]

Solve the multiplication inside the brackets (-3 * -4).

  • (8 - 2)² + 1/4[4 + 12]

Add 4 + 12 inside the brackets.

  • (8 - 2)² + 1/4[16]

Now solve (8 - 2) to complete the P step in PEMDAS.

  • (6)² + 1/4(16)

Next step in PEMDAS is E, exponents. Solve (6)².

  • 36 + 1/4(16)

Next step in PEMDAS is M, multiplication, so multiply 1/4(16).

  • 36 + 4

The last step is to add 36 and 4 together.

  • 36 + 4 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We just subsitue 3 for x and -4 for y, so we get

3(3) - 5( - 4) = 9 + 20 = 29

So

a = 29

7(3) + ( - 4) = b

21 - 4 = 17

b = 17

8x(40+7)=(8x )+(8x7 what is the missing number
Hitman42 [59]
Well since the first expression says 8x(40+7) the answer would be 40 that is missing

Since your splitting 47 into 40 and 7 and multiplying both of them by 8 the answer would be 40

Catherine paid $144.97 for an MP3 player. If the price paid includes a 9% sales tax, which of the following equations can be use
scZoUnD [109]
Catherine could take the original price of $144.97 and multiply it by .09 (9%). This would equal a sales tax of $13.073 which could be rounded to $13.01. Then add the original price of $144.97 to the tax of $13.01 to get a total of $157.98.
