Answer: First we will substitute the numbers given for the variables.
Then we will use order of operations to simplify.
7x + 5z(x - z) ÷ 9y would be equal to
7(5) + 5(8) * (5 - 8) ÷ 9(23)
Simplify:
35 + 40(-3) ÷ 207
Use order of operations to multiply 40 and -3; the equation now looks like:
35 + (-120) ÷ 207
Use order of operations to divide -120 and 207; the equation now looks like:
35 + (-0.6)
Add 35 and -0.6:
34.4
The solution to this equation is 34.4.
