ANSWER:
Division, multiplication, addition is the correct sequence of operations for solving [tex]-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7[/tex]
SOLUTION:
Given, equation is [tex]-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7[/tex]
We need to solve the given equation in correct sequential order.
So, let us follow the BODMAS rule.
BODMAS means sequence of operations are brackets, orders, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction
Now,
[tex]-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7[/tex]
As the term in brackets cannot be processed further we can go for next term.
Now the division operation has to be done first according to BODMAS
- 0.125(x+35)= -7
Multiplication comes second in order.
-0.125x+4.375= -7
On rearranging the terms, we get
-0.125x+4.375+7=0
Now perform addition according to BODMAS
-0.125x+11.375=0
0.125x=11.375
[tex]x=\frac{11.375}{0.125}=91[/tex]
Hence division, multiplication, addition is the correct sequence of operations for solving [tex]-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7[/tex]
