Let x = times in the pool
Let y = times in the basketball courts
42=3x+5y
x+y=12
Therefore y = 12-x
Subsitute for y
42 = 3x + 5(12-x)
42 = 3x + 60 -5x
Subtract 60
-18 = -2x
9 = x
The person used the pool 9 times.
4. 8
/ \ / \
2 x 2. 4 x 2
/ \
2 x 2
4: 2x2
8: 2x2x2
The GCF is 4
(9m - 6)7
Distribute 7 to both sides
63m - 42
Add 42 to get 63m by itself
63m = 42
Divide both sides by 63
m = 42/63 or simplified, 2/3
The original answer for that question would be 303.55. The best estimate when you round to the nearest tenth the approximate answer would be 303.6 because the 5 in the hundredths place rounds the 5 in the tenths place to a 6. So the approximate answer would be 303.6....hope this helps.
Answer:
- 15 - 7 (Parentheses)
- 3² (Exponents)
- 8 × 2 (Multiplication)
- 40 ÷ 8 (Division)
- 5 + 9 (Addition starting from the leftmost)
- 14 + 16 (Addition after the first addition operation)
Concept:
When encountering questions that ask for simplifying expressions through operation, following the PEMDAS method would be easier:
- <u>P</u>arentheses
- <u>E</u>xponents
- <u>M</u>ultiplication
- <u>D</u>ivision
- <u>A</u>ddition
- <u>S</u>ubtraction
Therefore, the whole process of simplifying the given expression should follow the PEMDAS method. <u>For extra</u>, whenever there are two occurences of the same operation, then prioritize the leftmost and go right.
Hope this helps!! :)
