Answer: x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Parentheses first
9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7
Combine like terms
9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7
add 38 to both sides
12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38
12q = 45
divide both sides by 12
q = 45/12
q = 3.75
Use pemdas (parenthesis, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract);
5.9(4) + 4³ + 3.86
5.9(4) + 64 + 3.86
23.6 + 64 + 3.86
The answer is C) 91.46
