Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Upper box in the diamond: Add the two numbers ⇒ (-2) + 3 = -1
Bottom box in the diamond : Multiply the two numbers ⇒ (-2) * 3 = -6
3) Upper box = (-6) + (-3) = (-9)
Bottom box = (-6) *(-3) = 18
4) Upper box = 1 +(-11) = -10
Bottom box = 1 *(-11) = -11
5) Upper box = 7+8 = 15
Bottom box = 7*8 = 56
Begin solving like you normally would. Add 2.25 to both sides and subtract 9x from both sides to try getting all x values on one side. However, you will find that after subtracting 9x from both sides, all x values go away, and you end with -2.25=1.6. This is not true (-2.25 is not 1.6), so the answer is no solution. There is no value of x which satisfies that equation.
14 + {-2 + 3[1 + 3(-6-2)]}
14 + { -2 + 3[1 + 3(-8)]}
14 + { -2 + 3[1 - 24]}
14 + { -2 + 3[-23]}
14 + {-2 - 69}
14 + {-71}
14 - 71
- 57 <==
