Evaluate 15 + |-3| - 4

Zina [86]2 years ago

Those lines on both sides of the number means "absolute value." Those lines tell us that the number is positive no matter what. So:

15 + |-3| - 4 → 15 + 3 - 4

Remember to follow PEMDAS when solving.

(15 + 3) - 4

18 - 4

14

Therefore, the answer is 14.

Best of Luck!

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation: The vertical bars around the -3 mean that we take the absolute value of that number which is the positive version of that number.

So the absolute value of -3 would be 3.

So we have 15 + (3) - 4 which simplifies to 18 - 4 or 14.

Notice that I used parentheses when first getting rid of the absolute value signs. I think that this method will help you avoid confusion when simplifying absolute values.

It's a good habit to get into for future problems.

Quick question
zaharov [31]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us evaluate the problem using the proper order of operation:

           4x − 2(5x − 1)

To solve this problem, we use the order of operation called PEMDAS;

P - Parentheses

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

Now, since operations inside the parentheses are of the utmost priority, let us solve this;

             4x − 2(5x − 1)

            = 4x - 10x +2

            = -6x + 2  or 2 - 6x

We see that the solution give is false.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that it uses 120 feet of fencing material to enclose three sides of the play area. This means there are 3 sides. Putting this into equation, we have something like this.

120 = L + 2W

Where

LW = area.

Again, in order to maximize the area with the given fencing, from the equation written above, then Width, w must be = 30 feet and length, l must be = 60

On substituting, we have

A = LW = (120 - 2W) W

From the first equation, making L the subject of the formula, we have this

L = 120 - 2W, which then we substituted above.

On simplification, we have

L = 120W -2W²

Differentiating, we have

A' = 120 - 4W = 0

Remember that W = 30

So therefore, L = 120 - 2(30) = 60 feet

Dont get it wrong, if its wrong i fail, explain how you got your answer
damaskus [11]

Answer: 50.24

Area of a circle is pi times r^2

The r is 1/2 the d

So 8/2 = 4

Pi times 4^2= 50.24
