18xโ7+4xโ9โ8x=?
To solve the exercise, we will reorder the numbers using the substitution property.
18xโ8x+4xโ7โ9=
To continue, let's remember an important rule:
1. It is impossible to add or subtract numbers with variables.
That is, we cannot subtract 7 from 8X, for example...
We solve according to the order of arithmetic operations, from left to right:
18xโ8x=10x10x+4x=14xโ7โ9=โ16Remember, these two numbers cannot be added or subtracted, so the result is:
14xโ16
