Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

To determine

To evaluate: the given expression.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 9CYU

The value of the expression is 5

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  15−56−4

Calculation:

Given the expression 15−56−4, rewrite this as division expression

  15−56−4=(15−5)÷(6−4)

The first step asks to solve the brackets first, so first solve the two brackets

  15−5=10

And

  6−4=2

Therefore, the expression reduces to

  15−56−4=(15−5)÷(6−4)=10÷2

Therefore, the numerical value of the given expression is 10÷2=5

  15−56−4=5

Conclusion:

Therefore, the numerical value of the given expression is 10÷2=5
