Question

After substituting, what is the first operation performed when evaluating 5+(9x-3) - 2 for %=5?

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$5+(9x-3)-2$

Also $x=5$

Solution:

It has been given that value of x is 5.

So if we substitute the value of x in given equation the we get;

$5+(9\times 5 - 3)-2$

Now by PEDMAS, The first operation perform will be the terms in parenthesis and in that too the first will be multiplication.

so we get;

$5+(45-3)-2$

Now again Solving the terms in parenthesis we get;

$5+42-2$

Now the next operation will be addition then we get;

$47 -2$

And finally performing subtraction we get;

$45$

Hence The first operation performed in given equation is multiplication.
