HELP with a few math questions

[Shawn]

Please, can anybody help me with the answers to these? I never understood this stuff....

(-17) - (-22) =

8 (6-5) + 10 =

4(-2)² + 8(-2) + 3(-2) + 6 =

(1/3)(9)³ =

-11(3/2)(.12(-12)) =

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) =

598% / 26% =

4/5 + 3/4 =

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

1. = 5

3. is zero.

[Dan Gould]

4. is 2187

4(-2)² + 8(-2) + 3(-2) + 6 = 16 - 16 - 6 + 6 = 0

(1/3)(9)³ = 1/3 (729) = 243

-11(3/2)(.12(-12)) = -11 (1.5)(-1.44) = 23.76

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 30 + 2.475 + 4.5 = 36.975

598% / 26% = 23

4/5 + 3/4 = 16/20 + 15/20 = 31/20 = 1.55

[Dan Gould]

the last one is 31/20.

There seems to be a difference of opinion on number 4, due to the fact that my calculator doesn't understand 9 cubed.

same thing as 9 x 9 x 9.

Which is how I thought I was doing it except I kept getting 9 to the fourth power instead. Maybe a sticky button ....

as a child i had a book where the main character's job was to perform calculations like these... from time to time his boss came by to check that he wasn't using a calculator - back then i didn't believe that jobs in the "real" grown up world were like that... (i've known for some time that i was at least partially wrong but) i hope very much that your job isn't like this

The first one is 5, the second one is 18 I think...and fuck the rest of 'em.

Lucky Goodspeak isn't here - I have a feeling that in his world, they'd all add up to 756.

(-17) - (-22) = 5

8 (6-5) + 10 = 18

4(-2)² + 8(-2) + 3(-2) + 6 = 0

(1/3)(9)³ = 243

-11(3/2)(.12(-12)) = 2376

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 36.975

598% / 26% = 23

4/5 + 3/4 = 1.55
