Question

Plz help I dont understand this

Answer 1

We can do this by following the order of operations  procedure.  PEMDAS.

= Parentheses Exponent Multiply Division Add Subtract

So in this case we work out the parentheses first , then the multiply:-

5(8 + 7)

= 5 * 15

= 75 (answer)

Answer 2

The answer is 75

The first thing you need to do is do what is in the brackets. This happens to be 8+7, then you need to multiply this answer by 5.

Though rules change when subtraction or multiplication are in front of division or addition. If so do the working from left to right (This includes multiples of brackets, exponents and such)
