Question

36 1 3 2. 13 = 20 Order of operations

Answer 1

Answer: (36 - 1) ÷ (3 + 2) + 13 = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS rule calls for parenthesis to be solved first, then exponents, then multiplication or division then addition or subtraction depending on which comes first in the equation.

Using the PEMDAS rule the 20 can be gotten to if the equation is expressed as follows;

(36 - 1) ÷ (3 + 2) + 13 = 20

The parenthesis will be solved first;

35 ÷ 5 + 13 = 20

The division will be done first;

7 + 13 = 20

Then the addition;

7 + 13 = 20
