Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$20-5y+2x$
$x=8$
$y=-3$

Substitute and solve using PEMDAS:

$20-5y+2x$
$20-5(-3)+2(8)$
$5\times-3=-15$
$20--15+2(8)$
$2\times8=16$
$20-(-15)+16$
$20--15=35$
$35+16=51$
$=51$

Your answer is "51."

Hope this helps.

Each year Lizzie’s school purchases student agenda books, which are sold in the school store. This year, the school

mrs_skeptik [129]

First divide $1,137.50 by 350 to figure out how much each book costs. Then divide $1,500 by 350 to see how much the school should add to the price of each agenda book to make the total profit. So the answer should be: (1137.50/350)+(1500/350)=minimum price
