You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Evalute: %285ac%29%2F%282%28c-a%29%29 if a = 6 and c = 8?
If we plug in the indicated variables, we have...
%285%2A6%2A8%29%2F%282%288-6%29%29
if we follow the order of operations, we have...
%28240%29%2F%2816-12%29%29
and...
%28240%29%2F%284%29%29
if we divide 240 by 4...
the answer is 60.
i hope this helps.
good luck!
