First , in order to find the answer you need to add the add the numerators which are 5 and 2 = 7 and then you need to find a common denominator.
Answer:
$450,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>100% - 38% = 62% of the previous house value is the current house value after the 38% decrease.</h3><h3>We'll first convert 62% to a decimal by dividing by 100.</h3>
62% = 62 / 100 = 0.62
<h2>0.62x = 279,000</h2><h3>Multiply by (100/62) on each side.</h3><h2>x = 450,000</h2><h2>The house value when it was purchased was $450,000.</h2>
I'm pretty sure its B. (9x2+2x-7)(x)+(9x2+2x-7)(-4)
Because its just splitting up the (x-4) and if you add the answers together then you get the same answer as the original<span />
Assuming the x stands for multiplication... follow the ordering rules:
First let's take care of the exponents. 4²=16 and (-6)²=36. At the same time I will add some spacing between the terms:
3x16 - 36 + 4 - 6x4
Now do the multiplications:
48 - 36 + 4 - 24
The rest is just addition and subtraction
48 - 36 + 4 - 24 = -8
C. 1/5 is smallest, then 1/3, then 7.
