Finally, combine the like terms:

Example Question #201 : Algebraic Concepts

Simplify the following:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When solving this problem we need to remember our order of operations, or PEMDAS. 

PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction. When you have a problem with several different operations, you need to solve the problem in this order and you work from left to right for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction.

Parentheses: We are not able to add a variable  to a number, so we move to the next step. 

Multiplication: We can distribute (or multiply) the 

Addition/Subtraction: Remember, we can't add a variable  to a number, so the  is left alone.

Now we have 

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve: 

First, solve both equations on each end, keeping the variable.

Then, subtract 15 from each side of the equation.

Finally, divide each side by 3 so that only the variable remains.

Example Question #1 : Equations

Ann, Bailey, Cara, Jack, and Jill are running a marathon.  Cara finishes 4 minutes before Ann.  Jill finishes after Bailey, who finishes after Ann.  Jack finishes right before Bailey.  Who else does Jack finish the race before?

There is not enough information to solve this problem.

Ann

Cara

Bailey

Correct answer:

Jill

Explanation:

Cara finishes first.  Ann and Bailey finish before Jill.  If Jack finishes right before Bailey, then Jill finishes last.

The sale price is $84.00

Example Question #2321 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First solve the parentheses.

Then solve from left to right since multiplication and division are interchangeable:

The answer is 20.

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.

Then, reduce where possible and multiply.

Finally, convert your answer into a mixed-number fraction.

Example Question #1 : Equations

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, convert each mixed number into an improper fraction and flip the second fraction. Then, change the operation to multiplication:

Reduce where possible and multiply. Convert your answer into a mixed fraction.

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First find the exponent value for each number:

Then divide accordingly. The answer is 128.
