First of all not to be rude, but it is order of operations not properties of operations. Second, you can solve equations by going in the order of PEMDAS or Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Multiplication and division are switchable, addition and subtraction. If you do not follow this order you get the equation or inequality wrong.
X = 42 - 19, so A - x = 23
The area of the countertop is (16-ft x 3-ft) = 48 feet² .
1 foot = 0.3048 meter (rounded)
(1 foot)² = (0.3048 meter)² = 0.0929 meter²
48 feet² = (48 x 0.0929) = 4.459 meter² (rounded)
Answer:
figure skates will be $1 cheaper.
Explanation:
<u>given equation</u>:
- to rent figure skates : f(x) = 1.50x + 2
- to rent hockey skates : h(x) = 2x +1.5
<u>solve for rent of figure skates</u>:
f(x) = 1.50x + 2.00
f(3) = 1.50(3) + 2.00
f(3) = 6.5
<u>solve for rent of hockey skates</u>:
h(x) = 2x + 1.5
h(3) = 2(3) +1.5
h(3) = 7.5
<u>cheaper - figure skates than hockey skates</u>:
$7.5 - $6.5
$1
