As the question is written, the <em>correct answer</em> is:
19519.
Explanation:
Our question states
y = 143.3(5)² + 1823.3(5) + 6820
To evaluate this, we use the order of operations (PEMDAS). There is nothing to be evaluated in parentheses, so P is taken care of.
The E part, exponents, is 5². This is 25, which gives us:
y = 143.3(25) + 1823.3(5) + 6820
Next we have M and D, multiplication and division (in the order they appear). Our multiplication is:
143.3(25) = 3582.5; and
1823.3(5) = 9116.5.
This gives us:
y = 3582.5 + 9116.5 + 6820
Lastly, we add these:
y = 12699 + 6820
y = 19519
Square root (x + 8) -6 = x
square root (x + 8) = x -6
x^2 + 16x + 64 = x^2 -12x + 36
28x = 48
