7-2(2+5)-8
7-2(7)-8
5(7)-8
When there is a bracket it means, you are supposed to multiply the number in front of it with the number in the bracket. So....
5 x 7 -8= 35-8
= 27

Thus the answer is 27

7 - 2 (7) -8
7 - 14 - 8
7-14= -7
-7 - 8 = - 15

use the given conditions to write an equations. solve the system and find the number. The sum of two numbers is 6. if one number

Ugo [173]

The answer would be 2 and 4 because if you added these two numbers together it would equal 6 and but if you subtracted 4 from 2 you would get -2. ex- if you have 4 dollars and you gave your friend those 4 dollars but the next day they payed you back 2 they would still need to give you back 2 dollars.
