Question

Simplify the following expression, using the order of operations. 8(5-3)3 +9

Answer 1

Hi!

Your answer should be: 57

Lets do the problem together.

8(5-3)3+9*

*Note, when numbers are next to brackets and there is no mathematical sign, it means multiply. For ex: (1)4=1x4

First, we start with the parenthesis.

5-3=2

So now, the equation is: 8x2x3+9

Now, we multiply from left to right.

8x2=16

So now, its: 16x3+9

Again, we multiply.

16x3= 48

So now, its 48+9

48+9=57

___________

8(5-3)3+9
