In summary, the equation A=(B-40)x1.5xC+Cx40 can be simplified to A = 1.5BC -20C. Another way to write it is A = (B-40)(1.5C)+40C.

Welcome to MHB, bizzy916! :)

A standard way to simplify it, would be:
\begin{aligned}
A &= (B-40)\times 1.5 \times C+C \times 40 \\
&= B \times 1.5 \times C - 40 \times 1.5 \times C+C \times 40 \\
&= 1.5 BC -60 C + 40 C \\
&= 1.5 BC - 20 C
\end{aligned}

this is my own way,
A = (B-40)(1.5C)+40C
A = 1.5BC - 60C + 40C
A = 1.5BC -20C

FAQ: Different way to write equation

How do I know when to use different ways of writing equations?

Different forms of equations are used in different situations, depending on the specific information given and the problem to be solved. It is important to understand the context and purpose of the equation in order to determine the most appropriate form to use.

What are the advantages of using different ways to write equations?

Different forms of equations offer different advantages. Some may be easier to manipulate algebraically, while others may be more intuitive for visualizing and solving problems. Additionally, certain forms may be better suited for specific applications, such as differential equations or geometric problems.

Can I convert an equation from one form to another?

Yes, it is possible to convert equations from one form to another. This process often involves algebraic manipulation and substitution of variables. However, it is important to understand the properties and limitations of each form in order to properly convert the equation.

Are there any common mistakes to watch out for when using different forms of equations?

One common mistake when using different forms of equations is to mix up the variables and their meanings. It is important to keep track of what each variable represents and how they are related in the different forms. Additionally, it is important to be aware of any restrictions or assumptions that may apply to a specific form of an equation.

Can I create my own equation in a different form?

Yes, you can create your own equation in a different form as long as it follows the rules and properties of that specific form. However, it is important to ensure that the equation accurately represents the problem and is applicable to the context in which it is being used.
