Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b=79(compares the number of stocks purchased)
12.41a+8.62b=825(compares the prices of the stocks purchases)
a=38, b=41
The GCF is 5
5 goes into 15 3 times
and 5 times into 25.
Answer:
n = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. the sum of 5 and some number translates to 5 + x.
2. 5 + x is getting multiplied by 4, so the equation will then become 4(5 + n).
3. This entire equation is equal to 4, which we can see where the problem says "is four". In other words, four times the sum of 5 + n is equal to 4. 4(5 + n) = 4
4. Now you can solve the equation. When solved, the answer is n = -4
So the trick I was taught to use was PEMDAS which stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. You solve the parenthesis first, followed by exponents if there are any. Multiplication and division are equal. So if there's multiplication and division in the problem, you solve the one closest to the left or start of the equation first. The same rules apply for addition and subtraction. They are both equal so you solve the first one first, even if the subtraction is before the addition.
