You must replace x with -5 and solve using the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) REMEMBER: IF NOT APPLICABLE TO THE EQUATION YOU MAY SKIP THAT STEP IN PEMDAS .

5(-5) + 40

Multiplication...

5 * -5 = -25

-25 + 40

Addition...

When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number. In this case the largest number is 40 and its sign is positive. Your answer will have a posititve sign.

-25 + 40 ----> 40 - 25 = 15

-25 + 40 = 15

Hope this helped!

Let x = the number of students at Taft high school
5x-100 = the number of students at Jefferson high school
if x =300 than 5(300)-100=1500-100=1400 students at Jefferson high school

Suppose spin a spinner with eight equal sectors, numbered 1 to 8. What is the probability of spinning a 3 or an 8?

olasank [31]

Given, in the spinner 8 equal sectors, numbered 1 to 8.

So total numbers = 8.

Let, the probability of spinning a 3 is P(Three) and spinning an 8 is P(Eight).

Now we know that, probability of an event E is

P(E) = (number of outcomes in the event)/ (total number of possible outcomes).

So here number of outcomes for spinning a 3 is 1 and we have got total outcomes = 8.

So P(Three) = $\frac{1}{8}$
