Medal+Fanning!! Can someone please help me with PEMDAS?

Answer 1

ask away

Answer 2

2.Max was solving the equation below and isn’t sure if his answer is correct. Explain to Max how he can check his answer and then help him identify any errors he made. Provide the correct solution in your explanation.



3x+6
8
=
7x−1
6


24
1
(
3x+6
8
) =
24
1
(
7x−1
6
)



3(3x+6) = 4(7x−1)
9x+18 = 28x−1
9x−9x+18 = 28x−9x−1
18 = 19x−1
18+1 = 19x−1+1
19 = 19x
1 = x

Answer 10

I put this but I got it wrong so I have to redo it.
The only mistake Max made was that during this part...
4(7x-1)
and he got...28x-1
In reality, he forgot to distribute 4 and just carried the one down.

Answer 11

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Answer 12

2nd line of the pemdas equation there is a mistake

Answer 13

Look at the pemdas equation I made ^

Answer 14

So the issue is that he did distribute the 4 to the 1 here 4(7x-1)?

Answer 15

ur suppose to do 4 x 7x and 4 x 1

Answer 16

Okay, thank you! Is the second line wrong also because I don't see where he put the 8 and 6 in the fraction?
