I did this to get 47.5 as the answer not 47 im not sure why but i did (61-7+7×1/2)+17 using the PEMDAS please excuse my dear aunt sally
parenthesis exponents multiply divide add subtract
one correct equation would be 2x=28 to depict the amount of money earned and then you would do 28/3 to find out the amount of money they each have after splitting the money they earned.
"if you break down a $1 bill, it is 4 quarters. If you add the 4 quarters to the other 3 then you will get the sum of 7."
Hope this helps!
