If a = 4 and b = 7, what is the value of the following expression? 20 ÷ a + 7 • b A. 28 B. 84 C. 54 D. 33

54

Step-by-step explanation:

20 ÷ a + 7 • b

Let a = 4 and b = 7

20 ÷ 4 + 7 • 7

Multiply and divide first

5 + 49

Then add

54

54

Step-by-step explanation:

20 ÷ a + 7 × b

Plug in the values.

20/4 + 7 × 7

Evaluate

5 + 49

54

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
