You want to use PEMDAS for this.
P= arenthesis ( )
E= xponents a²
M= ultiply ×
D= ivide ÷
A= dd +
S= ubtract -

What you want to do is go in order and ask yourself as you go.
Are there any Parenthesis? No
Are there any Exponents? No
Is there any Multiplication? Yes
Is there any Division? No
Is there any Addition? No
Is there any Subtraction? Yes
Thats when you stop and you multiply what you have in the PEMDAS. Top to bottom. 3x5 which gives you 15. Now you equation is 45-15. Thats when you subtract and you get your answer which is 30.

Rationalize the denominator of 4/14 root 2?

Katarina [22]

First of all, you can simplify the 4 at the numerator and the 14 at the denominator (they're both multiple of 2):

$\dfrac{4}{14\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\cdot 2}{2\cdot 7\cdot\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}}$

Now, rationalize a denominator means that you have to get rid of the square root, in order to have an integer denominator.

To do so, remember that you can always multiply any number by 1 without changing its value, and you can always think of 1 as a fraction where numerator and denominator are equal:

$\dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}}\cdot 1 = \dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}} \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{7\cdot 2} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{7}$

Tank 1 initially contains 50 gals of water with 10 oz of salt in it, while tank 2 initially contains 20 gals of water with 15 oz

Naddik [55]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2\text{ oz}}{1\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_2(t)\text{ oz}}{20\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}$

$\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=10-\dfrac1{10}x_1\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1{10}x_1-\dfrac14x_2\\\\x_1(0)=10\\\\x_2(0)=15\end{cases}$

horrorfan [7]

The actual length :
26.8 * 0.5 = 13.4 meters

The actual width :
12.2 * 0.5 = 6.1 meters

The actual area of the court:
13.4 * 6.1 = 81.74 meters square

Hope that helps you
