In 3(7-4)/2 you have you have to multiply 3 by 7 and by -4 and the answer would be 21-12/2=9/2 or 4.5. While in 3 * 7 -4/2 you will have to multiply 3 by 7 only and your answer will be 21 -4/2=17/2 or 8.5.

What is the distance between A and B? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

poizon [28]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad 
B(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{[4-(-1)]^2+[1-5]^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1-5)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{5^2+(-4)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{41}$
