Question

What is the value of the following expression?2 x [(12 + 2) x 5] + 32 divided by 2 number on top right 3

Answer 1

The value of the expression is $141.5$

Explanation:

The expression is $2 \times[(12+2) \times 5]+\frac{3}{2}$

The value of the expression can be determined using the rule PEMDAS.

According to the PEMDAS rule, first we need to perform the operation which is within the parenthesis.

Thus, the expression becomes,

$2 \times(14 \times 5)+\frac{3}{2}$

Multiplying the values within parenthesis, we have,

$2 \times70+\frac{3}{2}$

Using PEMDAS, we need to multiply the numbers.

$140+\frac{3}{2}$

Again using PEMDAS rule, divide the number,

$140+1.5$

Finally, using PEMDAS, let us add the values, we have,

$141.5$

Thus, the value of the expression is $141.5$
