EQUATION:
(NOTE: THIS IS A FRACTION)
5-(-2^3)(2)/6xsqrt9 -9x2
MY ANSWER:
= 5-(-8)(2)/6x3-9x2
= 5+8(2)/18-9x2
= 5+16/18-18
= 21/0
= undefined
well, it looks right. I am not cetain of your fraction, you use of () are limited.
okay...thank you bob :)
To solve the equation, let's break it down step by step:
1. In the equation, we have fractional expressions with multiple operations. To simplify the expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (from left to right), and Addition/Subtraction (from left to right).
2. Let's start by simplifying the exponentiation first. We have (-2^3) which means raising -2 to the power of 3.
-2^3 = -2 × -2 × -2 = -8
3. Now, substitute the value of -2^3 into the equation:
5-(-8)(2)/6*sqrt(9) -9*2
4. Next, simplify the multiplication and division from left to right:
5 - (-8)(2) / 6 * sqrt(9) - 9 * 2
= 5 - (-16) / 6 * 3 - 18
5. Next, simplify the negation: -(-16) = 16:
= 5 + 16 / 6 * 3 - 18
6. Next, simplify the square root of 9: sqrt(9) = 3:
= 5 + 16 / 6 * 3 - 18
7. Continuing with the multiplication and division from left to right:
= 5 + (16 / 6) * 3 - 18
= 5 + (8/3) * 3 - 18
= 5 + 8 - 18
= 13 - 18
= -5
Therefore, the answer to the equation is -5.
