Enter the answer in lowest terms.

Answer 1

Since the problem says that x=1, every time you see x in the equation, put a 1 in. What do you get when you do that?

Answer 2

Not sure.

Answer 4

okay 1 second

Answer 5

Sure.

Answer 6

2/11

Answer 7

is that my answer?

Answer 8

When we plug the 1's in, this is what the equation should look like. \[\frac{ 4\times1\div(5-3) }{ 2\times1\times5+9\times1 }\]According to PEMDAS, we're going to do the multiplication first. What's 4x1, 2x1,and 9x1?

Answer 9

2/11 wasn't quite the right answer. I'll walk you through the problem, if you like.

Answer 10

You're really close though. The 2 is right, but the 11 isn't

Answer 11

So we really only need to do the bottom part. \[2\times1\times5+9\times1\]
