@freckles @hero

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

dont count that two on the top i didnt want to put it there :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the 2 an exponent?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

no i didnt want to put it there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the one on the right of the parenthesis?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Try using PEMDAS first. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, first you would do (7-4) and you would get 3 from that.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

And then you would do 2*3 and what do you get from that?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

6

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Good! Then you would do 2+9 which is?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

11

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Good! Now you add 6+11 and what does that add to?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

17

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Awesome! Was this a multiple choice question?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

no i have to write how to simplify this expression

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Okay, so from the steps I gave you, you can say the first thing you did was use PEMDAS. Then you subtracted what was in the parentheses which was (7-4) and got 3. Then you multiplied 2*3 and got 6 and added 9+2 together and got 11, then you added 6+11 and got 17.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

\[2*3+9-2\]

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

what's pemdas??

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

oh ok

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Do you mind becoming a fan?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

i already did do mind fanning me to? @Liv1234

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

what is the soulution to -30 +k=9 @Liv1234

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Are there any options?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

yes let me put them up

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

A-39, B-21, C 39,D 21

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Okay, one second.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

B is the answer. Because if you add -30+9 you get -21 and if you subtract -21 from -30 you get 9.

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

oh ok thx again

OpenStudy (liv1234):

No problem!

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

what is the addictive inverse of 22??
