Question 6879: It has been over 24 years since I have used algebra. I have 2 days until I take a test for an electrition apperentiship. I have to take a simple algebra test. One of the questions is
A=B+3(4-C)
B=5 and C=2
What is the value of A
I know the anwser is 11 (according to the back of the book anwsers)
My question is, how do they get that anwser? I remember that you do the work in the () first which would be (4-2)which would equal 2
so A=B+3(2)
A=5+3(2)
A=8(2)
A=10
Which is not what they say it is.
Could you please tell me where I went wrong in my solving this question and some basic "this is what you do first" type of help.
Thank you,
Ron
