I remove the parentheses and distribute the negative..

OpenStudy (freckles):

Yes you can use the distributive property. A(b+c) =A*b+A*c

I got .112

OpenStudy (freckles):

Let me see if I can find a calc to check your approx. On a phone. No desktop or laptop :(

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay

OpenStudy (freckles):

Actually it was pretty easy to type into wolfram http://m.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%281.5*sqrt%2850%29-1.5*sqrt%2840%29%29%2F%2850-40%29&x=12&y=11

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The system told me I was wrong. The correct answer is 0.1

OpenStudy (freckles):

0.1 is the correct answer if you are to round to the nearest tenth

OpenStudy (freckles):

0.112 is the correct answer if you are to round to the nearest thousandths

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Oh okay. Thank you.

Good job on the calculator part.
