parentheses exponents multiply divide addition and subtraction
so the answer is 7
5(12.50 x 7) = 437.5
Explanation: you take the amount she makes for one hour (12.50), times it with the hours she works in a day (7), and then times it with how many days she works (5).
Step 1- multiply 40 by 25 to get 1000
step2- multiply 8 by 5 to get 40
step3- divide 1000 by 4 to get 250
answer. 250 pieces
You have to square the binomial.
(x^3 + 4y) (x^3 + 4y)
Using FOIL:
x^9 + 4(x^3)y + 4(x^3)y + 16y^2
x^9 + 8(x^3)y + 16y^2
You could also use the formula: (a+b)^2 = (a^2 + 2ab + b^2).
