Step-by-step explanation:
To do Order of Operations, we need to go with the order of the formula, PEMDAS.
P= Parenthesis
E= Exponents
M= Multiply (Whatever Comes First in Equation: M and D)
D= Divide
A= Addition (Whatever Comes First in Equation: A and S)
S= Subtraction
---------------------------------------------
So, we need to start with parenthesis, there aren't any, so we move on to Exponents.
There are no Exponents either, so we start with division, then multiplication.
(We always have to go left to right).
So,
-9 - 6 + <u>8 / -4</u> x -2
-9 - 6 + <u>-2 x -2</u>
-9 - 6 + 4
Our problem is:
-9 - 6 + 4
We do subtraction, then addition. (Left to Right)
<u>-9 - 6 </u>+ 4
<u>-15 + 4</u>
-11.
Therefore, the answer is -11.

He borrowed "a" at 7% and "b" at 8.25%
now, whatever "a" and "b" are, we know, his student loan was 9000, thus
a+b = 9000
now, he owes 7% or 7/100 for "a", what's 7% of a? well, 7/100 * a or 0.07a
he owes 8.25% of "b", how much is 8.25% of b? well, 8.25/100 * b or 0.0825b
now, we know, at the end of the year, he owed for both loans, 706.25 in interest
thus we know that 0.07a + 0.0825b = 706.25
thus

solve for "a", to see how much he borrowed at 7%
what about "b"? well, b = 9000-a
Step-by-step explanation:
2scoop: .5 gal= ONE PITCHER
1scoop: .25gal= HALF PITCHER
×8
8scoop: SHOULD BE 2gal= 4 PITCHERS
The answer would be -13 54/55
