The order of operations tells you exponentiation is done before multiplication or addition. That is, the value of x is squared before the sign is applied.
Your result will be negative for any non-zero value of x.
Seventy-six and one tenth
Let us assume the gas bill of Paul in February = x dollars
Then
Electric bill of Paul for the month of February = (x/2) + 3
Amount of Electricity bill of Paul for the month of February = $92
then we can write the equation as
(x/2) + 3 = 92
x/2 = 92 - 3
x/2 = 89
x = 89 * 2
= 178 dollars
So the gas bill of Paul in February is $178. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.
