Put brackets in the calculation below to make it correct. 15 - 4 x 2 + 1 = 3

1 answer:

3 0

If you put brackets around (2+1), your method of working is:
1) 15-4*(2+1)=3
2) 15-4*3=3
3) 15-12=3
You don't need any more brackets, as the BIDMAS (brackets, Indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) rule does the rest of the job for you.
The answer is therefore: 15-4*(2+1)=3

A. 1 = 3/3 = 4/4 = 52/52 = x/x

B. 5 = 10/2 = 15/3 = 7.5/1.5 = 120/24 = 5a/a

All the ratios must equal each other

I NEED ANSWER SUPER BAD PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!What is the greatest integer less than 100 for which the greatest common divisor of tha

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will list out the numbers which are factors of 12. They include:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

We need to get the highest number that has its greatest factor to be 4. It means that 6 and 12 cannot divide it.

To do this, we will write out the multiples of 4. They include:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88,92,96.

We will have to choose the highest number which only 4 can divide and 6 and 12 cannot divide.

Since we are looking for the largest, We can try dividing all the numbers by 4, 6, and 12 starting from 96.

We will quickly see that 4 can divide 92 but 6 and 12 cannot.

This gives us 92 as the answer.

Based on Pythagorean identities, which equation is true? A. Sin^2 theta -1= cos^2 theta B. Sec^2 theta-tan^2 theta= -1 C. -cos^2

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

our basic Pythagorean identity is cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

we can derive the 2 other using the listed above.

1. (cos²(x) + sin²(x))/cos²(x) = 1/cos²(x)

1 + tan²(x) = sec²(x)

2.(cos²(x) + sin²(x))/sin²(x) = 1/sin²(x)

cot²(x) + 1 = csc²(x)

A. sin^2 theta -1= cos^2 theta

this is false

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

isolating cos²(x)

cos²(x) = 1-sin²(x), not equal to sin²(x)-1

B. Sec^2 theta-tan^2 theta= -1

1 + tan²(x) = sec²(x)

sec²(x)-tan(x) = 1, not -1

false

C. -cos^2 theta-1= sin^2

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

sin²(x) = 1-cos²(x), our 1 is positive not negative, so false

D. Cot^2 theta - csc^2 theta=-1

cot²(x) + 1 = csc²(x)

isolating 1

1 = csc²(x) - cot²(x)

multiplying both sides by -1

-1 = cot²(x) - csc²(x)

TRUE

Ralph buys a desk that regularly sells for $250 and a desk chair that regularly sells for $145. both items are on sale at 15% of

Lunna [17]

C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.

Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.

If officer brimberry wrote 16 tickets for traffic violations last week but only 10 tickets this week what is the percent decreas

melamori03 [73]

I believe this is right..

10/16= x/100
x=62.5%
100%- 62.5%= 37.5%
