Sometimes it helps to draw it out...
(17)
C_______M_________Q
|___________________|
21
therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===
D is the answer that is graphed.
-12 + 9 - (-3) - 11
Remember PEMDAS: This is the order of operation.
P-Paragrahp
E-Exponent
M-Multiply
D-Divide
A-Add
S-Subtract
1st step: PEM
-(-3) is actually -1 * -3 = + 3
-12 + 9 + 3 - 11
2nd step: D is not possible, so we do A.
9 + 3 = 12
3rd Step: Subtract
12 - 12 - 11 = 0 - 11 = -11 CHOICE B.
