Question

Which expression simplifies to 41? Choose all that apply!

Answer 1

Answer:

None of the expressions is simplified to 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to follow the P.E.M.D.A.S., this is:

P:Parentheses first.

E:Exponent next.

M:Multiplication.

D:Division.

(Multiplication and Division is whichever come first, from left to right)

A: Addition.

S: Subtraction.

(Addition and Subtraction is whichever come first, from left to right).

We are going to analyze every option:

1. 10+ 2.4 - 1

First we have to solve the multiplication:

$10+ 2.4 - 1=10+8-1$

Now we have to solve the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$10+8-1=18-1=17\neq 41$

This is not a correct answer.

2. 10+2.(4-1)

We have to solve the parentheses first:

$10+2.(4-1)=10+2.(3)$

Now the multiplication and then the addition.

$10+2.(3)=10+6=16\neq 41$

This is not a correct answer.

3. (10+23).4-1

We have to solve the parentheses first:

$(10+23).4-1=(33).4-1$

Now the multiplication and then the subtraction:

$(33).4-1=132-1=131\neq 41$

This is not a correct option.

4. $10+(2^2.4)-1$

We have to solve the parentheses first, in the parenthesis first we have to solve: $2^2$ and then do the multiplication.

$10+(2^2.4)-1=10+(4.4)-1=10+16-1$

Now we have to solve the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$10+16-1=26-1=25\neq 41$

This expression is not a correct option.

Then none of the expressions is simplified to 41.
