If there is 2 brackets how do you solve the problem?Ex: 18 divided by (6 + 3) + 2 x (4 x 8) ?Explaining it with be most lovelyThank you
It is not clear whether you want 18 divided by just (6+3) or whether you want 18 divided by all of (6 + 3) + 2 x (4 x 8). The answers will be different. Another set of parentheses could make your question clear. I will assume you mean it the way you wrote it. In that case it is 18 / (6 + 3) + 2 x (4 x 8) , compute what is inside parentheses first: 18 / 9 + 2 x 32 2 + 2 x 32 2 + 64 66
First, remember order of operations : Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (from left to right), and Addition/Subtraction (left to right}, also known as Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. So 18 / (6+3) + 2 x (4 x 8) is equal to (Parenthesis first) 18 / (9) + 2 x (32) 18 / 9 + 2 x 32 is equal to (No exponents Multiplication/Division) 2 64 2 + 64, which is equal to (Addition/Subtraction) 66. so, 18 divided by (6 + 3) + 2 x (4 x 8) 66.
For Order of Operations: artwork any parenthesis first (brackets) then m/d then a/s Ex1 [3 + 4(9-4) + 20]/4 [3 + 4*5 + 20]/4 [3 + 20 + 20]/4 40 3/4 10 3/4 Ex2 [2 + 4(8-3)]/2 [2 + 4*5]/2 22/2 11
18 / (6 + 3) + 2 x (4 x 8) ? P-E-MD-AS P--- 6+ 3 9 and 4 x 8 32 E-- none in this problem Now you have: 18 / 9 + 2 x 32 MD--in the order it appears: 18 / 9 2 and 2 x 32 64 Now you have: 2 + 64 AS-- 2 + 64 66 --Reggie
Just start with the operations inside the brackets like always. 18 / (6 + 3) + 2 * (4 * 8) (do operations in brackets) 18 / 9 + 2 * 32 (divide) 2 + 2 * 32 (multiply) 2 + 64 (add) 66 ANSWER
