This math is just too much and makes little to no sense.
Whenever a number is beside a parenthesis without a sign it means multiplication. So you would use PEMDAS work in parenthesis then exponents, multiplication (from left to right) addition and subtraction (from left to right). so you would add 20+3 and get 23 then multiply that by -5 to get -115 as your answer.
If you need further help on how they got the answer, this equation will take more time, but it will also help you understand these types of problems. Part÷Whole=Percent÷100
Part= X because it is what you are trying to find.
Whole=250 because it is what you are taking the percentage of.
Percent=80
Now you have:
X÷250=80÷100
Set this up in fraction form and cross multiply.
You get:
100x=250×80
250×80=20,000
100x=20,000
X=200
Answer: It would be D
Step-by-step explanation:
4-7 equals -3
-1-4 equals -5
Cancel out the negatives which makes a positive
Answer 6 hours
Reason
7x + 9.50 = 55
-9.50. -9.50 subtract from both sides
_____________
7x = 45.50
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
X = 6.5
So he can rent for 6 hours (the .5 would be charged as a full hour per the problem)
