In solving algebraic expressions, there is an order in which to solve it.
1) perform the operation inside the parenthesis first
2) then perform the operation with the exponents
3) apply multiplication and division from left to right of the equation.
4) apply addition and subtraction from left to right of the equation.
Remember this: PEMDAS for easier recall. (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)
Answer:
30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio of 4:3 means that if one part can be represented by x, the original height is equal to 4 * x and the mural height is equal to 3 * x. This is because the ratio of original : mural is 4 : 3, so if one part = x, we have 4 * x : 3 * x. Therefore,
original mast height = 40 feet
4 * x = original mast height = 40 feet
divide both sides by 4 to get x
x = 10 feet
3 * x = mural mast height = 3 * 10 feet = 30 feet
Answer:
b. 37 • 26 = 26 • 37
commutative property states that the change in the order of numbers in an addition or multiplication operation does not change the sum or the product.
