Question

i need to solve 1.6(x−y) over 2 when x = 10 and y = 5 and i just dont know how... can you please help

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Since x=10, and y=5, we need to substitute the amounts in to the equation.

so...

1.6(10 -5)/2

Using PEMDAS, parenthesis comes first. So solve what 's in the parenthesis (10 - 5).

So..

1.6(5)/2

then, multiply 1.6 by 5.

1.6 x 5 = 8.

So you are left with the equation

8/2

and 8 divided by 2 is...

Answer 2

Explanation:

So your equation is 1.6(x-y)/2

Since x=10, and y=5, we need to substitute the amounts in to the equation.

so...

1.6(10 -5)/2

Using PEMDAS, parenthesis comes first. So solve what 's in the parenthesis (10 - 5).

So..

1.6(5)/2

Next, multiply 1.6 by 5.

1.6 x 5 = 8.

So you are left with the equation

8/2

and 8 divided by 2 is...
