The answer is -403

The order of operations puts multiplication before subtraction. -1 x 372= -372, and -372-31= -403

Answer:   The correct answer is:  " - 341 " .

____________

Step-by-step explanation:

____________

  -1 × 372 − -31 =  

 (-1 *372) −(-31) =

 (-1*372)  + 31 ;   {since "subtracting a negative value" is the same value as "adding that value's positive value"} ;

           = - 372 + 31

          =  - 341  

____________

The answer is:  " - 341 " .

____________

<u>Note</u>:  Using the "Order of Operation rules":

 PE MD AS ;

 "<u>P</u>lease <u>E</u>xcuse <u>M</u>y <u>D</u>ear <u>A</u>unt <u>S</u>ally" ; →  "mnemonic device" ;

In which "Parentheses" (if they occur) are considered first;

              then:  "<u>E</u>xponents" (if they occur):

              then:  "<u>M</u>ultiplication and <u>D</u>ivision" (if any of these occur; from the left of the equation—and continuing to the right of the equation—in the order in which they occur; neither the multiplication nor the division take priority over each other);

              then:  "<u>A</u>ddition and <u>S</u>ubtraction: (if any of these occur; from the left of the equation—and continuing to the right of the equation—in the order in which they occur; neither the addition nor the subtraction take priority over each other).

____________

We are given the expression:

____________

   →  " -1 × 372  −  -31 " ;

____________

Note, there are no "parentheses" or "exponents";

There is "one" multiplication but no "division".

There is "no" addition; but there is "one" subtraction.

so, the multiplication comes first:

 →  " -1 *372  =  -372 ;

Now, let us continue with the "one" subtraction that remains:

"  -372  −  -31 " ;

→  {Note that "subtracting a negative value" is the same value as                            

                          "adding that value's positive value"} ;

So, " - 372 −  -31  =  -372 + 31  =  - 341 . "

____________

The correct answer is: " - 341 " .

____________

Hope this helps!

Wishing you the best!

A firm buys 12 file cabinets at $140 each, with payment in full due in 90 days. How much must the firm deposit now to have enoug
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

firm deposit  is $1667.50

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

buys 12 file = $140

time = 90 days

interest = 3%

solution

we get here return on money over 90 day period  is  

we know Return on 360 days = 3%

return on money over 90 day = 3% ÷ 4  = 0.75%

we consider here required amount = x

so

$140 × 12 = x (1+0.0075)

x  =  \frac{1680}{1+0.0075}

x = 1667.50

so firm deposit  is $1667.50

How do I work out A &amp; B ?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

x² + 5x + 6

Consider the factors of the constant term ( + 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

The factors are 3 and 2, since

3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5, hence

x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form

(b)

To solve

x² + 5x + 6 = 0 ← use the factored form, that is

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
