Follow the order of operations. Evaluate absolute value first.
-3^2+8/2*4-9
Then evaluate exponents
9+8/2*4-9
Then evaluate multiplication and division from left to right
9+4*4-9
9+16-9
Then evaluate addition and subtraction from left to right
25-9
16
Final answer: 16
I believe in standard form this would be 31/2 + 27i/2
Answer: 31 & 42
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1st #: x
2nd #: x + 11
1st# + 2nd# = sum
x + x + 11 = 73
2x + 11 = 73
2x = 62
x = 31
2nd #: x + 11 = 31 + 11 = 42
Ratio 10:6
so 10+6 = 16
112/16 =7
white balls: 10 * 7 = 70
striped balls: 6 * 7 = 42
Answer: he needs to add 70 white balls and 42 striped balls to keep the same ratio 10:6
