problem solving

1. hugo is saving for a new baseball glove. he saves $10 the first week, and $6 each week for the next 6 weeks. the expression $10 + 6^2$ represents the total amount in dollars he has saved. what is the total amount hugo has saved?
2. a scientist placed fish eggs in a tank. each day, twice the number of eggs from the previous day hatch. the expression $5 \times 2^6$ represents the number of eggs that hatch on the sixth day. how many eggs hatch on the sixth day?

chapter 7 p12

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate exponents first

1. $5 + 17 - 10^2 \div 5 = 5 + 17 - 100 \div 5$
2. $7^2 - 3^2 + 4 = 49 - 9 + 4$
3. $2^4 \times (7 + 2) = 16 \times 9$
4. $(8^2 + 30) + (4 \times 5^2) = (64 + 30) + (4 \times 25)$
5. $12 + 21 \div 3 + 2^5 \times 0 = 12 + 21 \div 3 + 32 \times 0$
6. $(12 - 8)^3 - 24 \div 3 = 4^3 - 24 \div 3$
7. $10 + 6^2 = 10 + 36$
8. $5 \times 2^6 = 5 \times 64$

Step2: Do multiply/divide next

1. $5 + 17 - 20$
2. $144$
3. $(64 + 30) + 100$
4. $12 + 7 + 0$
5. $64 - 8$

Step3: Do add/subtract last

1. $22 - 20 = 2$
2. $40 + 4 = 54$
3. $94 + 100 = 194$ *Correction: original step 4 calculation: $(64+30)=94$, $(4×25)=100$, $94+100=194$ (initial answer had typo, corrected here)
4. $19 + 0 = 19$
5. $56$ *Correction: $64-8=56$ (initial answer had typo, corrected here)
6. $46$
7. $320$ *Correction: $5×64=320$ (initial answer had typo, corrected here)

Step4: Add parentheses for target value

1. $2 + 2^3 = 10$, $12 \times 10 = 120$, so $12 \times (2 + 2^3)$
2. $7^2 +1 -5=45$, $45 \times3=135$, so $(7^2 +1 -5) \times3$

Corrected Final Answer:

1. 2
2. 54
3. 144
4. 194
5. 19
6. 56
7. $12 \times (2 + 2^3)$
8. $(7^2 + 1 - 5) \times 3$
9. $46
