Evaluate this expression (-7--9)*(8+2)

1 answer:

5 0

Before we get started, it is good to remember PEMDAS - the acronym that tells you the order to carry out equations.

P = parentheses
E = exponents
M = multiplication
D = division
A = addition
S = subtraction

Knowing this, we should start by doing the equations <em>within </em>each parentheses.

$(-7 - -9) *(8 + 2)$
$(2) *(10)$

So we did the addition and subtraction pieces within each group leaving us with the above equation. Now let's multiply:

$(2)*(10) = 20$

20 is the answer.

A large university accepts 60% of the students who apply. Of the students the university accepts, 50% actually enroll. If 10,

prisoha [69]

we need to find 1% of 10000 first

so we divide 10000:100= 100 (that's 1%)

to find the 60% which will be accepted we multiply 100 × 60 = 6000 students accepted

of those 6000 we need to find 50% which is ½ so we basically just divide by 2, aka 6000 : 2 = 3000 people which will be enrolled

part of the river she observed fell 1.68 millimeters per year for 1.5 years. Use the distributive property to calculate the exac

Alecsey [184]

1.68 mm per year for 1.5 years could be rewritten as
(2.00-0.32) mm per year for 1.5 yrs.

Multiply: (1.5 yrs)(2.00-0.32)(mm/yr) = 3 mm + 0.48 mm = 3.48 mm

This approach makes use of the distributive property of multiplication.
