Answer 3

Answer 5

PEMDAS

Answer 6

i cant remember what it means tho this year all my classes are hard and everything is thrown at me to fast and i dont get enough help (I feel kinda sad i have to use openstudy to get help idky;-;)

Answer 7

That's ok ^_^

it took me a long while to remember this too xD

P = Parenthesis - do everything inside the parenthesis first
E = exponents - [perhaps you haven't learned these yet]
M = Multiplication
D = Division -- do these next, but M/D can be interchangable -- do them left to right
example = 4 / 2 * 3 = 2 * 3 = 6
A = Addition
S = subtraction -- same left to right idea as M/D, but after you do both M and D

Answer 8

Okay but im still confused how to write the Order of Operations e.e im really lost

Answer 9

What I just decribed above is the Order of Operations
(Parenthsis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addtion, Subtraction)
and next to them is a discription of what it does/what order specifically

Answer 10

Oh okay thank you i didn't realize it

Answer 11

that's alright ^_^
I understand that it's a lot of info
sorry if it was a little confusing

and feel free to ask me about anything you might be still confused on :)

Answer 12

Alright thank you very much for your help :)

Answer 13

@sleepyhead314 do you know if -10 is an integer? thats the last thing i swear :o

Answer 14

It is
because it Integers Include Negative numbers ^_^

Answer 15

you can keep on asking :P
it's not like I've got aynthing better to do xD xD

Answer 16

Thank you xD

Answer 17

can you help me Solve for the variable? 52(n) = 312

Answer 18

see how the 52 is attached to the "n" by multiplication?

so if we want to get "n" alone, we have to
Divide both sides by 52 to undo the multiplication

Answer 19

so it would become n = 312 / 52

Answer 20

because 52 / 52 [on the left] = 1

Answer 21

and 1(n) = n

Answer 22

thank you

Answer 23

my friend is coming over in abit to study with me if i was gonna go over this with her how would i explain it?

Answer 24

To solve for a variable, you want to see what is stopping the variable from being alone
and then try to undo it

so if 4 + n = 10
^^ the adding a 4 is stopping the "n" from being alone
and to undo the 4, you would subtract 4 from both sides

Answer 25

does that make sense?

Answer 26

Yeah. Did i ask how to find the variable for 52(n) = 312? im not sure if i did yet

Answer 27

yes you did ^_^
