Firstly the lines around -14 mean the "absolute value" which means, ignore the sign , it will be always positive. So, 3 (14) is 42.
Now let's go for the 8-11 = -3
now when you cube this number, the result will be negative.
-3 x -3 x -3 = -27.
however, there is a negative sign outisde the brackets, so - (-27) = + 27..
so the result so far is +27 +42 = 69
Now below the line, we have 2^4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 = 16 , and then -7 which is 9.
So, what we end up with is 69/9
Answer:
It will cost approximately $16.12 to varnish all the wooden planks.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Number of rectangular planks = 12
Dimension of the rectangular wooden plank:
Length = 8 feet
Width = 3 feet
Area covered by I bottle of varnish = 125 Square feet
Cost of 1 bottle of varnish = 3.50 units
Area of 1 rectangular plot =

Total area to be covered by varnish =

Number of varnish bottles required =

Cost of varnishing =

Thus, it will cost approximately $16.12 to varnish all the wooden planks.
X^2-10x+16= 0
(x-8)(x-2)=0
x = 8 or 2
