Math homework...anyone wanna help me?

[sayyouwould]

ok I'm not sure how to do this problem

(6g-3h)+(2g+5h)

g=5
h=4

I know that 6g+2g would be 8g and -3h and 5h would be 2h but after that I get lost! Can someone help me?

the answer is 78. . . . sorry baby doll, I cant help you. It confuses me  :?

[Scotty]

replace the letters with the numbers

(6g-3h)+(2g+5h)

g=5
h=4



(6x5 - 3x4)  +  (2x5 + 5x4)=
     18          +       30        =
                   48

EDIT: SCRATCH WHAT I SAID BEFORE!

(6*5-3*4)+(2*5+5*4)
(30-12)+(10+20)
18+30
48


but I suck at math so you might want a second opinion.

[sayyouwould]

ok so I would go


6*5=30
3*4=12
------------
*subtact* I get 24

then 2*5=10
        5*4=20
----------------
       *add*   30

24+30=54?

ohh geeze I just did it out on paper and got 33.4!!!

I'm so confused!!

[TSE]

NO!!!!!!!!  Parenthesis (sp) FIRST! ORDER OF Operations!

6g-3h=30-12=18
2g+5h=10+20=30

18+30=

[nicole]

(6g-3h)+(2g+5h)

(6(5)-3(4))+(2(5)+5(4))
   (30-12)  +  (10+20)
      (18 )    +    (30)
               48

[sayyouwould]

yay I finally got it!! thank you all so much for your help!!

Ok...the fact that a decimal point got in there confuses me

(6g-3h)+(2g+5h) g=5 h=4

First replace all the letters with their respective numbers:
(6*5 - 3*4) + (2*5 + 5*4)

Then, do all multiplication.  You are always supposed to do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction:
(30 - 12) + (10 + 20)

Then, do all math inside the parenthesis:
18 + 30

Finally, finish the problem:
48

Just reamember

Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction

You do things in () First

Ok...the fact that a decimal point got in there confuses me

Lol!  I was wondering about that . . .

BODMAS

B-  Brackets
O-  Order (squared etc)
D-  Divide
M-  Multiply
A-  Add
S-  Subtract

ok so just to check up on myself...

for this problem...

(-3g+5h)+(6g-6h)


g=5
h=4

[-3(5)+5(4)]+[6(5)-6(4)]

-3(5)= -15
5(4)=20
-----------
5

6(5)=30
6(4)=24
----------
6

6+5=11?

re the decimal..... hahaha I have considerably bad handwriting skills and for my X makes I make little dots in the air and for a moment I thought that it was a decimal so I multiplied then like decimals and thats how I got that!!

Looks okay
