In the order of operation, multiplying or dividing don't take preference over the other. So with them, you work from left to right.
This means for this question, you first divide, then multiply.
X^2 +3x - 18 is the answer
The answer would be 44.7 not 44.5
Your equation states y = 4(-1) + 3
Since the parentheses touch the number 4 which means you multiply, we will start with that first.
4 × -1 or 4(-1) (it means the same thing) would be -4
Now let us combine the equation.
y = -4 + 3
The addition property is included now,
-4 + 3 = -1
Therefore, your answer would be y = -1
Hope this helped! :D
