Can anyone help me solve this? Simplify (–3)2 + (–4 + 2)3 ÷ 4 – 3. A. –14 B. –8 C. 4 D. 11
first you know the form PEMDAS right??
first you have to do the perenthesis first so (-3)2 + (-4 + 2)3 / 4 - 3 = (-6 + -6) / 4 - 3 = (-12) / 4 - 3 = -3 -3 = -6
are you sure that the questions is right??
That's what I got! :( But it doesn't seem right.. I don't know!! :(
D
how you get D??
I did the work
show it on the chat
Can you please explain @Oscar123Flores
ok i might have got it. wait
nvm
check your questions again if it is right
Simplify (–3)2 + (–4 + 2)3 ÷ 4 – 3. A. –14 B. –8 C. 4 D. 11
they are like this...
Express 3/4 (2-4) as a single fraction. 3/4 (2-4) = (3 (2-4))/4: -3×2+(3 (2-4))/4-3 Subtract 4 from 2. 2-4 = -2: -3×2+(3×-2)/4-3 In (-2×3)/4, the numbers -2 in the numerator and 4 in the denominator have gcd greater than one. The gcd of -2 and 4 is 2, so (-2×3)/4 = ((2 (-1)) 3)/(2×2) = 2/2×(-3)/2 = (-3)/2: -3×2+(3×-1)/2-3 Multiply -3 and 2 together. -3×2 = -6: -6-3/2-3 Put the fractions in -6-3/2-3 over a common denominator. Put -6-3/2-3 over the common denominator 2. -6-3/2-3 = (2 (-6))/2-3/2+(2 (-3))/2: (-6×2)/2-3/2-(3×2)/2 Multiply -6 and 2 together. -6×2 = -12: -12/2-3/2-(3×2)/2 Multiply -3 and 2 together. -3×2 = -6: (-12)/2-3/2+-6/2 Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction. (-12)/2-(3)/2-(6)/2 = (-12-3-6)/2: (-12-3-6)/2 Group the negative terms in -12-3-6 together and factor out the minus sign. -12-3-6 = -(12+3+6): -(12+3+6)/2 Evaluate 12+3+6 using long addition. | 1 | | 1 | 2 | | 6 + | | 3 | 2 | 1: Answer: | | (-21)/2
that is 11.5 not 11 exatly it did not say to round it said to simplify.
trust me
I know this things
and it does not look like you followed the rule of PEMDAS. P = Perenthesis E = Expression M = Multilication D = Division A = Addition S = Subtraction
or E = Exponents
I know what pemdas is
wait is it suppose to be (-3) ^ 2??
yes!
wow thats why you made us think that it was multiplication
write the whole equation like the way i wrote it
I am sorry!
with a ^ for exponents
(-3)^2 + (-4+2)^3 / 4-3
i think it is b because (–3)^2 + (–4 + 2)^3 ÷ 4 – 3. 9 + -8 / 4 - 3 9 + -2 - 3 9 - 5 = 4
are you good??
Yes!! THank YOU!!
