True [87]

Answer:

When we think of World War I, images of the bloody, muddy Western Front are generally what come to mind. Scenes of frightened young men standing in knee-deep mud, awaiting the call to go "over the top", facing machine guns, barbed wire, mortars, bayonets, hand-to-hand battles, and more. We also think of the frustrations of all involved: the seemingly simple goal, the incomprehensible difficulty of just moving forward, and the staggering numbers of men killed. The stalemate on the Western Front lasted for four years, forcing the advancement of new technologies, bleeding the resources of the belligerent nations, and destroying the surrounding countryside. I've gathered photographs of the Great War from dozens of collections, some digitized for the first time, to try to tell the story of the conflict, those caught up in it, and how much it affected the world. This entry is part 2 of a 10-part series on World War I. This installment focuses on Early Years on the front, part II will focus more on the final year of trench warfare.

Using the order of operations, what would be the first step:<br><br> 4−8÷1−3[3+(7−5)2]
jeka94

Answer:

(7-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to PEMDAS, parenthesis go first. But there are two sets of parenthesis so the one inside the other goes first.

Next would be [3+(2*2)]

Then, [3+4]

Then, -8/1

Then, -3(7)

So the question would be 4-8-21

Which gives you -25 as an answer.

I realize that you weren't asking for the whole thing but maybe there are follow up questions.

The weight of a stack of standard 8.5x11 copier paper vs number of sheets of paper. Explain wether you think the relationship is
katrin [286]

I think the relationship between the weight of a stack of standard 8.5x11 copier paper vs number of sheets of paper is proportional because :

Let us assume here, in this situation that each page has the same weight so if i want to find the weight of the complete stack, i will multiply the number of sheets of paper by the weight of a single sheet of paper.
