For the first part, we simplify using PEMDAS.
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiply / Divide from left to right
Add / Subtract from left to right
2.52 + 4(2.3n + 4.8) - 2.8 =
6.25 + 4(2.3n + 4.8) - 2.8 =
6.25 + 9.2n + 19.2 - 2.8 =
9.2n + 22.65
For the second part, we substitute the given values to the expression given using PEMDAS.
A/b *c(c2 - c)
We can factor out the c in parenthesis.
A/b * c*c(c - 1) =
A/b * c2(c - 1) =
Plug in the values.
(1/5) / (5) * 1.22(1.2 - 1) =
(1/5) / (5) * 1.22(0.2) =
(1/5) / (5) * 1.44(0.2) =
(1 / 25) * 0.288 =
0.01152
