I’m not sure if this is correct but this is the way i would solve it.

first, make an equation with the given information

2x-3=30

Then, add three to both sides

2x=33

Finally, divide both sides by 2

x= 16.5

x represents the age of maggie so all you have to do is plug the solution into the equation to check your answer.

2(16.5)-3= 30

6b 4r represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought. If he returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice, the expre

The total cost of rice and beans bought by Gabriel is 6b + 4r.

The simplified expression of the final cost is 4b + 3r.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification can be defined as a process of replacing a mathematical expression by the cancellation of common factors, regrouping of terms in the same variable to get the more simple form of the given expression.

Given that

6b + 4r represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought.

He returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice.

This can be written as,

$\rm 2b+1r$

Then, the total number of bags of rice and beans is given as,

$\rm (6b+4r)- (\rm 2b+1r)$

When we simplify the above equation, we get,

$\rm (6b+4r)- (\rm 2b+1r)\\\\6b+4r-2b-1r\\\\4r+3r$

Hence we can conclude that the expression for rice and beans after the return is (4b+3r).

What comes first addition or multiplication?

Montano1993 [528]

The answer to this question is "MULTIPLICATION" comes first. As per the PEMDAS rule commonly used and followed in solving mathematics problems and equations, the multiplication comes first before addition. Well, the actual sequence is solving a problem using and following PEMDAS rule is PEMDAS - parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Therefore, the answer to this question is multiplication.
