Compute 33(0.5) - 6(0.5) - 7/2.
2 answers:
Hi there! The answer is 10.
We can use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) to find our answer.
Since we cannot work inside the parenthesis in this question and since we don't have exponents, we can move on to multiplying.
Our next step would be subtracting. To make the process of subtracting some easier, I'll first change the fraction into a decimal.
Finally subtract.
The answer is 10.

One way to write a line is y=mx+b, where b is a number, m is the slope of the line, and y and x are variables that you can plug numbers into. We know that we have two points, (0,5) and (10,0). To find the slope of a line, we can use the equation
Plugging this in for our points, we get
as our slope (we get -1/2 by dividing both -5 and 10 by 5 from the previous fraction), making our equation y=(-1/2)x+b. Plugging a point in to find out what b is, we get 0=(-1/2)10+b=-5+b. Adding 5 to both sides to separate the b, we get 5=b, making our equation y=(-1/2)x+5. To find out what x is for (x,2), since the y value comes second, we can plug in 2 into our equation to get 2=(-1/2)x+5. Since we want to solve for x, we have to separate it. Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get -3=(-1/2)x. Since we can multiply -1/2 by its reciprocal (switching the numerator and denominator) to get 1 (and therefore x on the right sides as 1*x=x), we multiply both sides by -2 to get 6=x, making the point (6,2)
