Use bidmas
so in order of what to do its Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Add, Subtract
hence you as (12/4 - 1) is in brackets, and 12/4 is division, you do 12/4 = 3
3 - 1 = 2
2 - 5 - 2 = - 5
Answer:
12 x is the answer. please thanks and follow me.
equation is g(x)=4(x-2)+7, (bit unsure of this next part) rule is g(x-2)
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
Use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2+x^2)
