The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):
Parenthesis (or Brackets)
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction
My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.
So:

We check our answer:

We are right!

Answer:
Principle should be $2,667
Step-by-step explanation:
We need $3000 for a vacation to Europe in 3 years.
Using amount formula,
Where, P is principle (P=?)
A is amount (A=3000)
r is rate of interest (r=0.04)
t is time (t=3)
Substitute the values into formula and solve for P
Hence, Principle should be $2,667

Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
h = -t+20
After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 points (time, inches)
(3,17) and (5,15)
We can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (15-17)/(5-3)
= -2/2
= -1
We can use point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Replace y with h and x with t
h-17 = -1 (t-3)
Distribute
h-17 = -t+3
Add 17 to each side
h-17+17 = -t+3+17
h = -t+20
After 8 hours
h = -t+20
h = -8+20
h= 12
