Combining like terms:
First do the first part which is 6(u-4)-8, you first distribute 6 to u and -4, 6u-24-8
-24-8=-32, 6u-32
Second part the same thing , distribute -6 to -4u and 6, (negative times a negative equals a positive) 24u-36-2u
24u-2u=22u
Solving:
6u-32=22u-36
Subtract 6u on both sides, -32=16u-36
Add 36 on both sides, 4=16u
Divide 16 on both sides
U=4/16 which is 0.25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x</u>
- 380% of x is 99
- x*3.8 = 99
- x = 99/3.8
- x = 26 rounded to the nearest whole number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-4.4 + (5-2)(-6) = -4.4 + (3)(-6) = -4.4 + (-18) = - 22.4
Choice C is the correct answer because
So in short, 
------------------------------------------
The mistake Jerry likely made was that he only cubed the 2 and didn't realize the 6 was part of that cubing process. It seems he didn't add first and decided to cube before adding.
This is probably what steps Jerry did
But as mentioned, those steps are incorrect because the 6 is part of the cubing operation. In other words, Jerry should have added the 6+2 first before cubing afterward (due to PEMDAS determining the order of operations).
Or you could think of it like this
Answer: 1.48971 x 10^19
Step-by-step explanation: 1-light year is approximately 5.865 x 10^12 which is 5,865,000,000,000 kilometers or 6 trillion miles in 1-year. The Andromeda galaxy is indeed 2.54 million light-years from Earth which is the closest galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy.
The best way to this is to put this into a scientific calculator. If it shows 1.48971E19, the E stands for exponent and the 19 next to the E stands to the 19th power. That is written as 1,489,710,000,000,000,000 miles!! from Earth. That's a lot of zeros. That's the reason scientific notation is used; to avoid all those zeros and express very small/large figures.
Hope this explanation helps.
