Question

How to evaluate this expression -3 . (6 + 4 . 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is follow this order while working a problem!

Example 1:

If a = 4 and b = 5, what is ab – 2b?

Since there are no parentheses or exponents,

you first plus in the values for a and b and multiply those together.

(4 ´ 5) You get 20.

Then, you multiply 2b or (2 ´  5 )which gives you 10.

Last, you subtract the second answer from the first (20 -10),

which gives you 10!

Example 2:

Evaluate 6x / 4 when x = 6.

Because multiplication and division are equal in the order of operations, you solve the problem by reading it from left to right like one would read a book.

6 x 6 = 36.

You then divide that number by 4.

The correct answer is 9.
