Example: 3(2+4)-6

You would add 2 and 4 first, since they are in parentheses. Then you'd have:

3(6)-6

Then you would multiply 3 and 6, since multiplication comes before subtraction in PEMDAS. so then you'd end up with:

18-6

Which, 18-6=12.

Hope this is what you were asking for, and I hope this helps!! :)

What are all the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9

frez [133]

Answer:

x = - 3 ± 3 $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given the equation x² + 6x - 9 = 0

We can solve for x using the quadratic formula

x = ( - b ± $\sqrt{b^2-4ac }$ ) / 2a

with a = 1, b = 6 and c = - 9

x = ( - 6 ± $\sqrt{6^2-(4(1)(-9)}$ ) / 2

= ( - 6 ± $\sqrt{36+36}$ ) / 2

= ( - 6 ± $\sqrt{72}$ ) / 2

= ( - 6 ± 6 $\sqrt{2}$ ) / 2

x = - 3 ± 3 $\sqrt{2}$

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,-5) and (7,1)

Inessa05 [86]

Slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
(2,-5) can be your x1 and y1
(7,1) can be your x2 and y2
1-(-5)/7-2
1+5/5
6/5
The slope of the line is 6/5
Hope I helped!

How do you figure out a fraction of a whole number

diamong [38]

You have to divide the number by the denominator of the fraction. For example, if you want to find 1/5 of 20, you have to divide 20 by 5 and that tells you that 1/5 of 20 is 4.
