The order of operations says:
P arentheses
E xponents
M ultiplication
D ivision
A ddition
S ubtraction
So first we will do 3 x 9 = 27. (27 - 6 + 3 / 10)
Next do 3/10 = .3. (27 - 6 + .3)
Then solve 27-6 = 21. (21 + .3)
Lastly do the last part! The answer is 21.3, hope this helps!
Note this pattern: Mult. 24 by (-1/4) produces -6.
Mult -6 by (-1/4) produces 6/4 = 3/2
Mult. 3/2 by (-1/4) produces 3/8
Looks as though you copied the problem down incorrectly. You wrote 32 for 3/2 and -38 for -3/8.
The common ratio is -1/4.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
16x-80+18=4x+22
16x-62=4x+22
12x-62=22
12x=84
x=7
