Question

Hakim needs your help to simplify the expression using order of operations.

(1.9-0.3) ÷ 8 + x 3

NOTE: You must show all work on this question.

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression step by step, following the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right). The expression we need to simplify is:

\[
(1.9 - 0.3) \div 8 + x 3
\]

### Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses
First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

\[
1.9 - 0.3 = 1.6
\]

Now the expression becomes:

\[
1.6 \div 8 + x 3
\]

### Step 2: Perform the division
Next, we perform the division:

\[
1.6 \div 8 = 0.2
\]

Now the expression is:

\[
0.2 + x 3
\]

### Step 3: Multiply
Now, we need to consider the term \(x 3\). This can be interpreted as \(3x\) (3 multiplied by some variable \(x\)). Thus, our expression now becomes:

\[
0.2 + 3x
\]

### Final Result
The simplified expression is:

\[
0.2 + 3x
\]

This is the final simplified expression using the order of operations.
