Simplify this expression.

20.25 –9 1/2+ 11

Pls help

The answer is -0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS, add 9.5 + 11 first, which results in 20.5. Then substract 20.5 from 20.25, 20.25 - 20.5. This leads to -0.25 or -1/4.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
