the "dot" should mean "times" :) (unless it's a decimal LOL)
So we want to solve the following:
\[\frac{ 9 \times 3 - 3 \times 5 }{ 4} = ?\]
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
Firstly, work out what 9 times 3 equals to ?
and then, 3 times 5 equals to ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the answer 23.25?
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
not quite.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well 9x3 is 27 and 3x5 is15

corrrect! So if we plug that into our equation we have this:
\[\frac{ 9 \times 3 - 3 \times 5 }{ 4 }\]
\[= \frac{ 27 - 15 }{ 4 }\]
Now, we want to simplify this.
What does 27 - 15 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12!
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
excellent! :D
So now we have
\[\frac{ 12 }{ 4 } = ?\]
12 divided by 4 equals to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
correect! :D Good job
