What is the answer for x-9 (45+116)

Question

anonymous · Answer

Well first you should go to the math section of this website.  I will help you though.  If you are trying to solve for x then you want to get x by itself by putting it into an equation.  $$x-9(45+116)=0$$

anonymous · Answer

To get x by itself we need to use PEMDAS (Parenthesise, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).  First do the math in the parenthesise.  $$45+116$$

anonymous · Answer

Our new equations is$$x-9(161)=0$$

anonymous · Answer

The next step is multiplications because there are no exponents.  When a number is next to parenthesise, it is telling you to multiply that number by what is inside the parenthesise.  So, we need to multiply 9 by 161.$$9*161$$

Our new equation is $$x-1449=0$$

anonymous · Answer

Now, to get x by itself we must get the -1449 to the other side of the equation.  To do that we need to add 1449 to both sides of the equation.$$x-1449+1449=+1449$$

anonymous · Answer

-1449 and +1449 cancel each other out so we are left with $$x=1449$$ That is the answer.
