If a square has 10 equal parts and 4 are shaded and 6 are blank what is the percent represented by the shaded area

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

4 out of 10 is 0.4, which is 40 percent.

14x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, let's get started!

A quick note:

Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally = P E M D A S,

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

YOU MUST USE THIS IN THE CORRECT ORDER

Ok, I think we get it now... let's actually start now!

                                             3 ( x + 5 ) - 8 + 11x

Parentheses first!

= 3x + 15 - 8 +11x

Combine like terms!

= 3x + 11x + 15 - 8

(Sometimes you can make signs or move the like terms next to each other as to not get confused)

= 14x + 7

Now, this is all we can do! Therefore we have our answer (drumroll please)

                                                 14x + 7

Sing the numbers loud, and wear them proud!

Nice job, everyone!
