Algebra.Com's Answer #464037 by 2897696(96) You can put this solution on YOUR website! First plug in -2 every where you see a x \n" ); document.write( "5!(-2)3-2!+7 \n" ); document.write( "now solve the thing in the absolute value bars. \n" ); document.write( "5!-6-2!+7 \n" ); document.write( "5!-8!+7 \n" ); document.write( "Take the number out of the absolute value bars. Since anything in a absolute values taken out, it will be positive, for ex:!2!=2&!-2!=2: \n" ); document.write( "5*8+7 \n" ); document.write( "Simplify the problem using PEMDAS. \n" ); document.write( "Since m (multiply) comes before a (adding), we multiply first \n" ); document.write( "so 5*8 becomes 40 \n" ); document.write( "40+7 \n" ); document.write( "add \n" ); document.write( "47 \n" ); document.write( "Answer: 47\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
