This is a lesson in order of operations...
PEMDAS- parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction... That is the order in which you have to proceed during any math problem..
Your question gives an excellent example of why.
8x3+4=
in this question, we would do multiplication then addition for the answer...
24 + 4 = 28
Now the other one
8 x (3+4) =
in this expression, we would do what is inside the parentheses first, the addition. Then we would multiply...
8x 7 = 56
You see we have the same numbers and we are performing the same operations, but the difference is in the order that we perform them. As you can see it does make a difference because we get a different result.
28 vs 56
So you start by subtracting 3 from 35, which is 32. 32/8 = 4. So three years ago, Tim's son was 4 and Tim was 32. The percentage is about 13%
So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Last year, 
acres i.e 3.5 acres produced 14,700 pounds of strawberries. So we need to determine how many strawberries were produced per acre.
To do this we divide the total number of strawberries produced by the number of acres it was produced in.
The number of strawberries produced per acre
pounds.
Step 2:
To determine the number of strawberries in 5 acres of land, we multiply the number of strawberries per acre by the number of acres.
The number of strawberries produced in 5 acres
pounds.
So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
Y=14x+9 the values x=1,2,3
