Have I solved this equation correctly?

Question

x = 4 + (.65) (1.7) = 5.7

Does this equation mean the same as:

x = 4 + (.65 X 1.7) = 5.7

Thanks for any help.

Answer 2

It's perfect honey. Great job! Make sure to use BEDMAS - Brackets first, then Exponents and Square Root, then Division, then Multiplication, then Addition, then Subtraction.

Hope I helped and choose me for best answer!
