Answer:
Using PEMDAS we can see that P or parenthesis is first so we would subtract 5 from 5 in the beginning. That would result in a 0 which would then get multiplied with 12 to still have 0.



Now that we completed that part, the only thing that we have left to do is to multiply the last two numbers, 3 and 5.


Therefore, our final solution is 15.

Here is an Example:73 rounded to the nearest ten is 70, because 73 is closer to 70 than to 80. But 76 goes up to 80.
Draw six dots then a plus sign then draw seven dots and the count them and put an equal sign and however many dots. Doe the same with the other numbers
R1t+t/2.5=1, we are told it takes both 1.5 hours so
1.5r+0.6=1
1.5r=0.4
r=4/15
So for this other pipe to fill the pool by itself...
4t/15=1
4t=15
t=15/4
t=3.75 hours
check..
4t/15+t/2.5=1
(4t+6t)/15=1
10t=15
t=15/10
t=3/2
t=1.5 hours, correct (for both pipes filling the pool)
