We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is
. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
Basically, this problem is going to require you to solve for the area and multiply it with the given cost unit.
Area = Length*Height
Area = 100 ft * 8 ft = 800 ft²
Total Cost = (Unit Cost)(Area)
Total Cost = ($2/ft²)(800 ft²)
<em>Total Cost = $1,600</em>
Answer:
The mean is 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is the sum of all elements divided by the number of elements.
In this problem, we have that:
Elements
56 47 48 52 62 59 49 56 43 48
Sum

Number of Elements
10 elements
The mean is
