Falsely false? ;)

a positive times a negative is a negative...so the sign is right, but 4 x 5 = 20, not 25...it is false

solve the equation.
10(8-2)=
Answer: 60? I did what was in () first then multiplied 10 and 6 and got 60

texaschic101 · Answer

you are correct....you do what is in parenthesis first, then multiply.

texaschic101 · Answer

or you could have distributes...
10(8 - 2) = 80 - 20 = 60
either way, you will get the same answer

do you know this? 25/5 + 15/3 =

anonymous · Answer

im not the best with fractions

texaschic101 · Answer

to add/subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. A number that 5 and 3 both go into evenly. That number would be 15.
OH....wait...there is an easier way.....
25/5 = 5 and 15/3 = 5.....added together = 10

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is 10?

texaschic101 · Answer

yup :)

anonymous · Answer

Thankyou do you mind helping me up with a couple more?

texaschic101 · Answer

I can try :)

anonymous · Answer

2+ 8+10/2 =

texaschic101 · Answer

2 + 8 + 10/2 -- (10/2 reduces to 5)
2 + 8 + 5 = 15

texaschic101 · Answer

oh...wait...is the problem 2 + 8 + (10/2) or is it (2 + 8 + 10)/2 ??

anonymous · Answer

no its 2+ on the outside then next to it is the fraction 8+10/2

texaschic101 · Answer

2 + (8 + 10/2) = 2 + (8 + 5) = 2 + 13 = 15 (remember, 10/2 = 5)

anonymous · Answer

Thank you i just need help with two more: 15/8-3 +6 =

texaschic101 · Answer

(15/8) - 3 + 6 
or
15/(8 - 3 + 6)
or
(15/8 - 3) + 6

all this makes a difference....

texaschic101 · Answer

which one is it ?

anonymous · Answer

ik its not the second one and i got the same answer for the first and last one which was (7.125) only the first one was a negative and last one was a positive

anonymous · Answer

so i think im gonna go with the last choice

texaschic101 · Answer

ok....your choice, your grade...lol

anonymous · Answer

ok just need help with one more: 6x 4/4-2 =

anonymous · Answer

and the (x) is a mutiplication sign

texaschic101 · Answer

6 x (4/4) - 2 = 6 x 1 - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
OR
(6 x 4) / (4 - 2) = 24/2 = 12
OR
((6 x 4)/4) - 2 = 24/4 - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4

Take your pick...lol

anonymous · Answer

first one
