What is the value of the expression? show all work.
-9 - 6 + 8 ÷ -4 * -2?

Step-by-step explanation:

To do Order of Operations, we need to go with the order of the formula, PEMDAS.

P= Parenthesis

E= Exponents

M= Multiply (Whatever Comes First in Equation: M and D)

D= Divide

A= Addition (Whatever Comes First in Equation: A and S)

S= Subtraction

So, we need to start with parenthesis, there aren't any, so we move on to Exponents.

There are no Exponents either, so we start with division, then multiplication.

(We always have to go left to right).

So,

-9 - 6 + 8 / -4 x -2

-9 - 6 + -2 x -2

-9 - 6 + 4

Our problem is:

-9 - 6 + 4

We do subtraction, then addition. (Left to Right)

-9 - 6 + 4

-15 + 4

-11.

Therefore, the answer is -11.

(Corrected)

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
