Question

Can someone please show me how you do this? Like the steps, because I'm kinda confused....

Answer 1

Doing this using PEMDAS
a = -3, b = 6, c = 3, and d = -5

|ac-d|
|b-2|

Answer 2

PEMDAS = Order of Operations (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.)

Answer 3

-3x3--5= -3x3+5

Answer 4

For the first one, does that make sense?

Answer 5

|-3+3+5| =5
|6-2| =4

Answer 6

|ac-d| (over) |b-2|
It's a fraction.

Answer 7

All you pretty much do is plug in the number for the letter.
ohhhhh... I see
well then you will divide. 5\4 and get 1.25?

Answer 8

im not convinced that its -3+3. Im pretty sure its -3 times by 3.

Answer 9

well if it is -3(3)+5 then you answer will be -4/4 and you would get -1

Answer 10

This is what I'm getting... what am I doing wrong?

Answer 11

|-3*6-5|/|6-2|
|-18-5|/|6-2|
|-23|/|4|
=-5.75

Answer 12

you have 6 instead of 3. c=3

Answer 13

OH, wow... thanks! Lol

Answer 14

yep. :P

Answer 15

|-3*3-5|/|6-2|
|-9-5|/|6-2|
|-14|/|4|
=-3.5

Answer 16

absolute value makes -14 positive :)

Answer 17

a = -3, b = 6, c = 3, and d = -5
|ac-d|
|b-2|
|-3*3--5| = |-3*3+5| = |-9+5| = |-4| = 4
|6-2| = 4
4/4 = 1

Answer 18

|ac - d|/|b-2|

|(-3)(3) - (-5)|/|6-2|

|-9 + 5|/|6-2|

|-4|/|4|

4/4

1

Answer 19

So this shows you that

|ac - d|/|b-2| = 1

when a = -3, b = 6, c = 3 and d = -5
