Solve for x using the correct order operations

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mice21 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B: x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - (3 × 2)^2 + 4 × 3

Use PEMDAS, meaning solve what's in the parentheses first (P stands for parentheses)

12 - (6)^2 + 4 × 3

We get 6 because 3 × 2 = 6

Next step is solve any exponents (E for exponents)

12 - 36 + 4 × 3

We get 36 because 6 × 6 = 36 (the exponent was 2 meaning multiply the same number, 6, twice: 6 × 6)

Now we move on to multiplication and division (M for multiplication and D for division)

These are interchangable in that either can go first depending on its location in the equation

However, since there is no division in this problem we automatically skip to multiplication

12 - 36 + 12

We answered 12 because 4 × 3 = 12

Our last steps in PEMDAS are addition and subtraction (A for addition and S for subtraction)

These are also interchangable, but both are apparent in this problem

Now it depends on location

Whichever sign (addition or subtraction) is first in accordance from left to right is where we start first)

Subtraction is first

-24 + 12

Now we add -24 + 12

-12

Solve the system by graphing. Tell whether the system has one​ solution, infinitely many​ solutions, or no solution.
masha68 [24]
Here: 6y = 6x + 12
6y - 6x = 12

Divide by 6, 
y - x = 2
Which is nothing but first equation!

In short, Your Answer would be: "Infinitely Many solutions"
[ As L.H.S = R.H.S ]

Hope this helps!

X=9y<br> 5x+3y= -48<br> What does x equal?<br> What does y equal?
Anon25 [30]

you can plug the x value (9y) into the second equation

5(9y) + 3y = -48

45y + 3y = -48

48y = -48

y = -1

x = 9(-1)

x = -9

There are 200 pieces of gum. The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. How many piece
grin007 [14]

Answer: the 7th person will get 3.125 pieces of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. This means that number of pieces of gum that each student gets is reducing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 200

r = 0.5

n = 7

The 7th term, T7 is

T7 = 200 × 0.5^(7 - 1)

T7 = 200 × 0.5^6

T7 = 3.125
