Our Order of Operations looks like this:
Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

Multiplication and division are on the same "level".
When we see them in the problem, we execute the operations from LEFT TO RIGHT. So Shawna should have applied the division before multiplying the 2 and 3. (Because the division is the leftmost operation in the problem).

AB=45. If RT=3(x+9), what is the value of x?

Margaret [11]

6 because 45 divides by 3 equals 15 and fifteen minus 9 equals 6, if you plug 6 into the equation it makes sense

Slove system of equations y=2x-3 y=x^2-2x-8

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

2 solutions:

x=5 and y=7

x=-1 and y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-3

y=x^2-2x-8

y=y so:

2x-3=x^2-2x-8

simplifying to:

x^2-4x-5=0

factoring to:

(x-5)(x+1)=0

x=5 or x=-1

if x=5 then y=2(5)-3=7

if x=-1 then y=2(-1)-3=-5

Daniel deposits $300 into an account that earns 16% interest annually. Which equation can be used to model his account balance,

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$y=300(1+0.16)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This account can be modeled using the compound interest formula.</h2><h2>the compound interest formula is expressed as</h2>

$A= P(1+r )^t$

Where

A =final amount = y

P=initial principal balance = $300

r=interest rate = 16%= 0.16

t=number of time periods elapsed= x

Hence the equation to model his account balance/ final amount A (y) after time (x) years is

$y=300(1+0.16)^x$
