Which expression simplifies to 41? Choose all that apply!

Arada [10]

Answer:

None of the expressions is simplified to 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to follow the P.E.M.D.A.S., this is:

P:Parentheses first.

E:Exponent next.

M:Multiplication.

D:Division.

(Multiplication and Division is whichever come first, from left to right)

A: Addition.

S: Subtraction.

(Addition and Subtraction is whichever come first, from left to right).

We are going to analyze every option:

1. 10+ 2.4 - 1

First we have to solve the multiplication:

$10+ 2.4 - 1=10+8-1$

Now we have to solve the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$10+8-1=18-1=17\neq 41$

This is not a correct answer.

2. 10+2.(4-1)

We have to solve the parentheses first:

$10+2.(4-1)=10+2.(3)$

Now the multiplication and then the addition.

$10+2.(3)=10+6=16\neq 41$

This is not a correct answer.

3. (10+23).4-1

We have to solve the parentheses first:

$(10+23).4-1=(33).4-1$

Now the multiplication and then the subtraction:

$(33).4-1=132-1=131\neq 41$

This is not a correct option.

4. $10+(2^2.4)-1$

We have to solve the parentheses first, in the parenthesis first we have to solve: $2^2$ and then do the multiplication.

$10+(2^2.4)-1=10+(4.4)-1=10+16-1$

Now we have to solve the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$10+16-1=26-1=25\neq 41$

This expression is not a correct option.

Then none of the expressions is simplified to 41.

Find the value of 1415×211 Although these numbers aren't quite as nice as the ones from the example, the procedure is the same,

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

298565

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem,

1415 × 211

∵ Direct multiplication is quite tough so we can split the number into smaller one for making the multiplication easier,

= (1400 + 15) × (210 + 1)

By using distributive property,

= 1400 × (210 + 1) + 15(210 + 1)

Again by distributive property,

= 1400 × 210 + 1400 + 15 × 210 + 15

Simplifying,

= 294000 + 1400 + 3150 + 15

= 298565

Hence, 1415 × 211 = 298565

Can someone help me

barxatty [35]

Answer:

y= (-6/5)x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b , where m is the slope, and b is the y -intercept

the y -intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis so b = -2

the slope m= y(rise) /x(run) = 6/-5 = -6/5 ( to find the slope you have to know how to get from any point on the line to another point on the same line; start at point (0,-2) go up 6(y-rise) and to the left 5(x-run) at point (-5,4))

y= (-6/5)x -2
