Yes, parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.
Let us understand this with two examples.
First example.
Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression
In this expression we have evaluated subtraction first instead of multiply.
Second example.
Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression
In this expression we have evaluated multiplication first and then subtraction.
Therefore, from above two examples we can see that parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.
Okay i believe the first one is 4/7 and the second one is 2. also don’t listen to them. sometimes it can be hard and you start to stress. good luck and if this isn’t right i’m so sorry :) keep your head up!!!
The correct answer is False, there is a solution.
You can solve this 2 ways: plug in all of the options or solve for x.
i going to solve for x.
given: x^2+2x=24 (subtract 24 on both sides to get make it look like x^2+x+1)
x^2+2x-24=0 (now factor x^2+2x-24 out)
<span>x^2+2x-24 --> (x-4)(x+6)
</span>
new equation: <span>(x-4)(x+6)=0 (now make them both equl zero)
new equaions: </span>x-4=0 x+6=0 <span> (now solve for x for both)
x-4=0 x+6=0
x=4 x=-6
your <span>answer is 4 and -6.
if you were not taught how to do what i just did then i can message you how to plug those numbers into </span></span><span> x^2+2x=24 to find the answer.</span>
We only see the Moon because sunlight reflects back to us from its surface. But the the lit side does not always face the Earth. As the moon circles the Earth, the amount of the lit side we see changes.
