Step-by-step explanation:
To do Order of Operations, we need to go with the order of the formula, PEMDAS.
P= Parenthesis
E= Exponents
M= Multiply (Whatever Comes First in Equation: M and D)
D= Divide
A= Addition (Whatever Comes First in Equation: A and S)
S= Subtraction
---------------------------------------------
So, we need to start with parenthesis, there aren't any, so we move on to Exponents.
There are no Exponents either, so we start with division, then multiplication.
(We always have to go left to right).
So,
-9 - 6 + <u>8 / -4</u> x -2
-9 - 6 + <u>-2 x -2</u>
-9 - 6 + 4
Our problem is:
-9 - 6 + 4
We do subtraction, then addition. (Left to Right)
<u>-9 - 6 </u>+ 4
<u>-15 + 4</u>
-11.
Therefore, the answer is -11.

Answer:
Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.
We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.
Now let's make an equation:
52 = x + 5x - 2
We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:
54= x + 5x
No we need to add the like terms:
54 = 6x
Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.
Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)
So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
