In PEMDAS, there is no parentheses in this equation, so we move on to exponents.
-5^2 is 25
Now, we divide -15/-3 then we get 5
Next, we do -3+20=17
25+5+17 would be 47
Your answer should be 47!
Hope this helps (:
What he said for every four there is four
Each die has six numbers, the total number of possible combinations is 6 * 6 = 36
The combinations in which you can get a sum of 5 are: 1 &4, 2 & 3, 4 &1, 3 &2
There are 4 different combinations of getting a sum of 5.
The probability would be 4/36, which reduces to 1/9
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 2 and 10
Discussion:
Approach 1:
20 = (-10)*(-2) and (-10) + (-2) = -12 the coefficients of the polynomial. Hence
x^2 -12x + 20 = ( x- 2) * ( x-10)
Approach 2:
From the quadratic formula ( a = 1, b = -12, c = 20)
x = ( -(-12) +\- sqrt( ((-12)^2 - 4*1*20) ) / (2 * 1)
= ( 12 +\- sqrt( 144-80) ) /2
= (12 +\- sqrt(64) ) /2
= (12 +\- 8 ) /2
x = ( 12 + 8) /2 = 20/2 = 10
or
x = ( 12 - 8)/ 2 = 4/2 = 2
Thank you,
MrB
