Question

Solve the following equation: 156 + (7 – 3) x 7 = A. 174 B. 184 C. 1,050 D. 1,120

Answer 1

In this problem, it is essential to use the order of operations, or PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). First, you solve 7-3=4. Then, you multiply 7 times 4, which is 28. Lastly, you add 28 to 156 which is 184. So your answer is B.

Answer 2
