Question

Bri thinks the expressions 3 x (2+6) and (3 x 2) + 6 have the same value. Evaluate each

Answer 1

By evaluating both expressions through BODMAS, it is concluded that

3*(2+6)  $\neq$ (3*2) + 6

Hence, Bri is not right.

BODMAS - It is a type of rule that is used in Mathematics for evaluating operations. There are different types of operations like Subtraction, additions, multiplications, and divisions. When all these operations are present in an expression, it can be difficult to evaluate them. So here BODMAS comes into play and states that we should solve in the order: Brackets, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

The given expressions are 3*(2+6) and (3*2) + 6

So, we have:

3*(2+6) = 3*2 +3*6 = 6 + 18 = 24

And (3*2) + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12

3*(2+6)  $\neq$ (3*2) + 6
