The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:
4 / 2 - 1
The proper order of operations would be:
Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1
But if subtracting was done before dividing:
4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4
So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the Proportional Transversal Theorem, the three parallel lines hat intersects the two transversals, divides the transversal lines proportionally.
Therefore, we would have the following ratio:
28/35 = ?/50
Cross multiply
35*? = 50*28
35*? = 1,400
Divide both sides by 35
? = 1400/35
? = 40
Answer:
7.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the width and the length together. Therefore:
13 multiplied by x = 93.6
x = 93.6 divided by 13
x= 7.2
Equal to a+b on the algebra
