Answer: Choice A) Add 3.8 to both sides of the equation
Explanation:
If we knew the value of w, then we would replace it and apply PEMDAS.
However, we don't know the value of w, so we undo each step of PEMDAS going backwards.
We start with the "S" of PEMDAS, and undo the subtraction. To undo subtraction, you apply addition. To undo that "minus 3.8" we add 3.8 to both sides.
it is yes, then no, then yes.
1) 10.25 x 10^9 in scientific notation is 1.025 x 10^10
2) Now you have to subtract 10.25x10^9 - 3.0x10^7
To make that you have to put both numbers with the same power of ten.
1025x10^7 - 3.0x10^7 = 1022x10^7 more pennies than half-dollars.
Simplifying, Dividing, and Evaluating....the answer is 2.
Now, if you want to Find the Domain (unlikely, but still possible), that's another answer.
