Question

​Simplify.

Answer 1

Hey there!

In order for you to solve this particular equation, you have to do , what we call $PEMDAS$. This word "$PEMDAS$" means

• $Parentheses$
• $Exponents$
• $Multiplication$
• $Division$
• $Addition$
• $Subtraction$

In this particular $equation$ you have

1. $Multiplication$
2. $Parentheses$
3. $Subtraction$

Firstly, we have to solve what is in the $parentheses$ which is

$(21.69 -$$24.99)$

Solve that part

$21.69-$ $24.99$ ⇒$-3.3$

Our equation now becomes; and we move on to our next step, which is $multiplication$

$\frac{1}{3}$$(-3.3)$

$\frac{1}{3} (-3.3)$ ⇒ $-1.1$

So, therefore your answer would most likely going to be: $\boxed{-1.1}$

Note: you necessarily don't have to round your answer because it is around somewhat rounded to the nearest tenth

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
