Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We are given this expression:
34÷(14-5)×2
And we want to evaluate it
We'll be using the order of operations
Depending on the country you're in, the acronym can be different, but in the US, the typical acronym used for the order of operations is PEMDAS, or Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction
The order of operations states that we should start with any expressions in parentheses
In this case, it's (14-5), which is equal to 9
The expression now becomes
34÷9×2
There are no exponents, so let's skip that
Now this is where it gets tricky:
Based on the acronym alone, we should be doing 9*2 next, however, we should always work left to right, even if in a case like this, we'll be doing division instead of multiplication
Divide 34 by 9
×2
Now multiply by 2
(as a mixed fraction, it's 7)
Hope this helps!
