What is the value of the expression 7 + 52 × (7 – 3)?
|dw:1380827660026:dw|
74 107 128 179
just solve it 7+52x(7-3) OOO,7-3 is 4. 7-52x4 7-25x4 7-100 -93
thats not a answer choice
oh, 7PLUS100, the answer is 107
thanks for your help @BeckieBird
I thought that was an exponent *scratches head*
it is an exponent, do order of operations
@JA1 can u help with this one
What number is missing in the expression
|dw:1380827901946:dw|
i know i have asked this one but really need help with it
Okay well as for the "acceptable" method I got nothing, I can solve this but I don't know the correct method that is taught, is that ok?
of course if u want just make a guess
No not a guess, I just don't know the right steps, my way of doing it is as follows:
Wait to verify it's: \[3^2x \left(?+3\right)=63\]
please hurry my tutor wants me to be done in 1 min. and give the results to my parents and if that question isn't answered my parents will whoop me
sorry for the delay by browser is glitchy today, anyways I need to know if that is the question?
yes it is
okay well first I do the steps except for parenthesis, so I get: 9*3=63 which is wrong so I need to figure what number times 9 is 63, I know it's 7 off the top of my head, and thus the number is 4 since 4+3 = 7!
So you get: \[3^2(7 + 3) = 63\]
thanks so much @JA1 ur a life saver
I thought "x" was a variable xD now I get that it's a multiplication sign *smacks head*
No problem, btw try using "*" from now on to show multiplication ;) it gets confused for algebra
lol thanks for the heads up :)
No prob, good luck!
i got 14 out of 20
That's a 61 D... might want to study a bit harder next time :)
ah my dad is coming with the belt now
*Weeps for Army3947*
im scared
Plead guilty and promise to study harder ;) it "should" work
no it wont he doesn't have mercy he's a crazy man he's like a helicopter with that belt
215. Just use a calculator. LOL
Just follow the order of operations. First evaluate exponents, then numbers within parentheses, then multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction. In this case, you must solve 7 - 3, because it is within parentheses, and then multiply that answer by 52, since multiplication comes next. Because addition comes last, you must add that value to 7 and you're done! If you want to solve this kind of problem on your own in the future, just remember the order of operations and you'll be fine. :)
