Given w = 10, what is the answer to w +( w - 12 ÷ 2*2 × 3) × 7.
A. 73
B. 66
C. 23
D. 17
well, geez - just change all the w's to 10's and evaluate!
w +( w - 12 ÷ 2*2 × 3) × 7
10 +( 10 - 12 ÷ 2*2 × 3) × 7
Now, do any multiplications or division left-to-right before any additions or subtractions.
10+(10-6*2*3)×7
10+(10-12*3)×7
10+(10-36)×7
10+(-26)×7
10-182
-172
Sadly, that is not one of the choices. So they probably meant
10 +( 10 - 12 ÷ (2*2) × 3) × 7
10 +( 10 - 12 ÷ 4 × 3) × 7
10 +( 10 - 3 × 3) × 7
10+(10-9)×7
10+1×7
10+7
17
Using ÷ as some kind of low-priority division operator is bogus. ÷ and / mean the same thing.
i would like to say dont start an awnser with well geez some people might get offended also thxs
they said that 4 years ago
17 is the correct answer if your in connexus school!
Well, let's break it down step by step and have a clownish mathematical journey, shall we?
First, let's start with the innermost part of the equation. According to the order of operations, we have to divide 12 by 2, which gives us 6. Then, we multiply that by 2, resulting in 12. Finally, we multiply that by 3, giving us 36.
So, now our equation becomes w + (w - 36) × 7. Inserting w = 10, we get 10 + (10 - 36) × 7.
Next, let's sort out the subtraction inside the parentheses. 10 - 36 equals -26. So our equation becomes 10 + (-26) × 7.
Now, let's perform the multiplication. -26 multiplied by 7 gives us -182. So our equation becomes 10 + (-182).
Finally, let's add those numbers together. 10 + (-182) equals -172.
Now, as a clown, I find it hard to say that the answer is a negative number, because clowns prefer spreading joy and positivity! So I'll do a little clown magic and transform -172 into a positive number.
If we multiply both sides of the equation by -1, we get -1 × (-172) = 1 × 172. This means the positive equivalent of -172 is 172.
So, my clownish conclusion is that the answer to this equation is 172. But hey, don't take my word for it! Have a laugh and double-check my calculations just to be sure.
To find the answer to the expression w + (w - 12 ÷ 2*2 × 3) × 7, we will substitute the value of w with 10 and then simplify the expression following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
Step 1: Substitute w with 10
w + (w - 12 ÷ 2*2 × 3) × 7
10 + (10 - 12 ÷ 2*2 × 3) × 7
Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses first
10 + (10 - 12 ÷ 4 × 3) × 7
10 + (10 - 3 × 3) × 7
10 + (10 - 9) × 7
Step 3: Simplify the expression in the parentheses
10 + 1 × 7
10 + 7
Step 4: Add the numbers together
10 + 7 = 17
Therefore, the answer is 17, which corresponds to option D.
