Give two examples that show how using parentheses can change the order I. Witch operations are performed in an expression

The order of arithmetic operations is given by the acronym PEMDAS, which means
Parentheses,
Exponents,
Multiplication,
Division,
Addition,
Subtraction.

These two examples illustrate how the use of parentheses can change the order.

Example 1:
5+7/3x4-2/5 has an answer of 13.933.

Use PEMDAS to obtain
5+(7/3)x4-(2/5)
= 5+(2.3333x4)-0.4
= 5+9.3333-0.4
= 14.3333-0.4
= 13.933

If we apply the parentheses: (5+7)/3x4-2/5
The result is
(12/3)x4-(2/5)
= (4x4)-0.4
= 16-0.4
= 15.06
which is a different answer.

Example 2:
8/3²x5+4 has the answer 8.444

Use PEMDAS to obtain
8/(3²)x5+4
= (8/9)x5+4
= (0.8889x5)+4
= 4.4444+4
= 8.4444

If we apply the parentheses (8/3)²x5+4:
The result is
2.6667²x5+4
= 7.1113x5+4
= 35.5565+4
= 39.5565
which is a different answer.

In the figure above, the measure of <BDE is 20 and CD is perpendicular to DE. What is the measure of <ADC ?​
notsponge [240]

Answer:

∠ ADC = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ CDE = 90° ( angle between perpendicular lines ) , then

∠ CDB + ∠ BDE = 90°

∠ CDB + 20° = 90° ( subtract 20° from both sides )

∠ CDB = 70°

∠ ADC and ∠ CDB are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180° , so

∠ ADC + ∠ CDB = 180° , that is

∠ ADC + 70° = 180° ( subtract 70° from both sides )

∠ ADC = 110°
