When there are no special grouping symbols, math problems are solved from left to right. Although there are other important rules about the order in which you do the operations (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division) in a math expression or equation, this lesson will focus on grouping symbols. The rest of the order of operations rules will be explained in the Determining Order of Operations lesson. To help prevent confusion as you learn how to use the grouping symbols, this lesson will only use addition and subtraction.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $5289.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the cars have an average mileage of 6.78 miles per gallon and the race is 500 miles, the number of gallons each car will take will be:
= 500/6.78
= 73.75 gallons
Since they're 44 cars, the total gallons of fuel will be:
= 44 × 73.75
= 3245 gallons
Since the fuel cost is $1.63 per gallon, the total fuel cost, will be:
= $1.63 × 3245
= $5289.35
3 over 5 x minus 15 = 6 over 5 x plus 12
3/5x - 15 = 6/5x +12
-3/5x+3/5x-15=6/5x-3/5x+12 subtraction property
-15=3/5x+12 simplified
-12-15=3/5x+12-12 subtraction property
-27=3/5x simplified
(5/3)(-27)=3/5 (5/3)x multiplicative inverse
-45=x
