Hi so you start with PEMDAS wich means parenthesis exponents multiply divide add and subtract so that's the order. so we start with the order so its parenthesis so 10 minus 8 is to and are the question now looks like this: 3 + 4 2 Now when are two numbers together and they don't have a sign we multiplied together. it looks like 3+4x2 Now we multiply because we follow the rule. now it looks like this: 3+8 Now 3 plus 8 is 11 so your answer is 11 Hope I had helped.
The answer is true, we study mathematics and the properties of numbers, and we learn to solve equations for one major purpose: to solve practical application problems.
