General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

5x - 8(1 + 7x) = -8

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -8: 5x - 8 - 56x = -8
Combine like terms: -51x - 8 = -8
Isolate x term: -51x = 0
Isolate x: x = 0

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it is a solution.

Substitute in x: 5(0) - 8(1 + 7(0)) = -8
Multiply: 0 - 8(1 + 0) = -8
Add: -8(1) = -8
Multiply: -8 = -8

Here we see that -8 does indeed equal -8.

∴ x = 0 is a solution of the equation.

Evaluate the following (1.6 x 10 12) ÷ (8.01 x 10 23)

devlian [24]

To evaluate the given expression, we must follow the rules of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction) in solving.

Therefore, first calculate what's inside the parentheses:

(1619.2) / (8194.23)

Then perform the operation in between the parentheses:

(1619.2) / (8194.23) = 0.20

Therefore the answer after evaluating the expression is 0.20.
