Answer:

Order of operations

Step-by-step explanation:

4 must be squared before multiplying by 5 because of order of operations (PEMDAS). PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. 4 squared is an example of an exponent and multiplying by 5 is an example of multiplication. Therefore 4 squared must come first.

When 4 is squared first, you will get an answer of 80.

When you multiply by 5 first, you will get an answer of 400.

Can somebody tell me how to solve these kind of problems?

Ugo [173]

Answer: 918km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

$area(a): 1700km^2\\percentage(p): 5.75 = \frac{5.75}{100}=0.0575\\years(y): 8$

Let x be the new dimension of the area;

$x=a-(a*p*y)$

$x=(1700km^2)-(1700km^2*0.0575*8)\\x=1700km^2-782km^2\\x=918km^2$

If the basic measuring unit in base-7 is 49 circles, what does the measuring unit of size .001seven look like

Serjik [45]

The measuring unit is the standard unit of a quantity

The measuring unit of size 0.001 is represented by one millionth circle

<h3>How to determine the unit of base 0.001</h3>

The basic measuring unit in base 7 is given as:

49 circles

The above can be represented as:

Base 7 = 49 circles

Represent the base with n.

So, we have the following rule

$Circle = n^2$

For measuring unit 0.001, we have:

$Circle = 0.001^2$

Evaluate the square

$Circle = 0.000001$

This means that,

The measuring unit of size 0.001 is represented by one millionth circle

Solve by factoring:<br> 5t=t ^2

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

t=0 and t=5

Step-by-step explanation:

5t = t^2

Subtract 5t from each side

5t-5t = t^2 -5t

0= t^2 -5t

Factor out a t

0= t(t-5)

Using the zero product property

t=0 and t-5 =0

t=0 and t-5+5=0+5

t=0 and t=5

-*~…First Answer Gets Brainliest…~*-

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You could also use increments of 4 degrees instead, so the first line to the right of the zero point represents 4 degrees Celsius, the second represents 8 degrees and so on. Having each line represent 4 degrees is useful, since the temperatures where Celsius and Fahrenheit correspond are multiples of 4 in both scales. It's ok if you give brainliest to the other person who answered first
