Do solve this you use PEMDAS. This stands for: Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
Because there are no parentheses or exponents in this equation, we go straight to the division.
1) 8 divided by 4 equals two so we rewrite the equation. 5+6 x 2 - 2 + 7.
2) Next in order of pemdas is multiplication. Yes I know that in pemdas multiplication does come before division but it doesn’t matter in this problem which you do first. So now we do 6 x2 =12. We then rewrite the equation 5+12-2+7.
3) lastly, addition and subtraction are grouped together and you can just do it in order of the problem. So we do 5+12=17. 17-2=15. And 15+7=22.
. It’s because a prime factor of all even numbers is 2. Therefore the prime factors of all even squares includes two, therefore, the square must be even.
