Hey there!

Seeing that it's an order of operations problem, we can use our standard format of computing, PEMDAS. It stands for:

P- Parentheses
E- Exponents
M- Multiplication
D- Division
A- Addition
S- Subtraction

When we compute these problems, we must do it in this order. Therefore, when we do this problem, we start within the parentheses.

<span>(5^2 +6)–(7•4)+8

Inside the parentheses, we have an exponent. Since it's second, we compute it first. 

</span><span>(25 +6)–(7•4)+8

Next, we can simplify the multiplication problem in the other set of parentheses.

</span>(25 +6)–(28)+8

Simplify first parentheses:

31 - 28 + 8

Subtract

3 + 8 = 

11

Notice how we subtracted first. That's because when we do PEMDAS, addition, and subtraction, along with multiplication and division, are on the same level- so you can do them in any order. This doesn't go for anything else though unless it's obviously commutative.

Hope this helps!

Hello!

The order of operations is PEMDAS or parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition subtraction.

So 5^2 is 25 + 6 is 31

7*4 is 28

31 - 28 = 3

and 3 + 8 is 11

Tom was right

Hope this helps!

The product of 2 consecutive #s is 4160 what are the numbers?
KengaRu [80]
So the so the product of two consecutive numbers is 4160 or
x(x+1)=4160
distribute
x^2+x=4160
subtract 4160 from both sides
x^2+x-4160=0
find the factor (if you want to know how, just ask in the comments)
(x-64)(x+65)=0
so the answer is x could be 64 or -65
so the number that work are 64,65 and -65,-64
