Assume that the notation (a,r,s,t) means multiply q and r, then add the product to s and (2,6,4,8)+(4,7,2,6)? Please show work and choose one of the choices like e f g or h

Answer: 7.0 (choice E)

=============================================

Work Shown:


\perp (q,r,s,t) = (qr + s)/(t)\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = (2*6 + 4)/(8)\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = (12 + 4)/(8)\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = (16)/(8)\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = 2\\\\

Let m = 2 so we can use this result later.


\perp (q,r,s,t) = (qr + s)/(t)\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = (4*7 + 2)/(6)\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = (28 + 2)/(6)\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = (30)/(6)\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = 5\\\\

Let n = 5 so we can use this result later.

Add the two results.

m+n = 2 + 5 = 7.0 is the final answer.
