Lila did it correctly. The answer is 324
Following PEMDAS, we first focus on the parenthesis. So we simplify 9-3 to get 6
So we go from
18*4^2+(9-3)^2
to
18*4^2+6^2
The next step is applying exponents. In this case, squaring the terms, so we go from
18*4^2+6^2
to
18*16+36
Next is multiplying
18*16+36
turns into
288+36
Finally, add up 288 and 36 to get 288+36 = 324
That confirms that Lila is correct
----------------------
The error that Rob made is that he computed 18*4^2+9^2-3^2 but it is NOT correct. Saying (x-y)^2 = x^2-y^2 isn't a true equation for all x and y. Again you have to simplify what is in the parenthesis first, and then you can square it. Or you must use the FOIL rule to expand out (9-3)^2
X = adult tickets and x+58 = student tickets
Create the equation from the problem.
x + x + 58 = 708
Combine like terms.
2x +58 = 708
Subtract 58.
2x = 650
Divide by 2.
x = 325
Therefore, your answer is:
there were 325 adult tickets sold.
(Adding 58 to that number will get you the student tickets sold which is 383 if they ask.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Adjust based on LCM (15):
Answer:
1/2x^2 -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is 1/2x^2 + 1 and since this equation is the first one minus 4 1-4= -3 so you would get this new equation.
Answer:
x=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
25x+15-5x+5=-50
20x+10=-50
20x+10-10=-50-10
2x=-60
x=60/2
x=-30
Hope it helps!
