Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this problem as a numerical expression. As per the wording of this problem, there can be two expressions derived.

1.     $((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30$

2.     $30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)$

Simplify, remember the order of operations. The order of operations is the sequence by which one is supposed to perform operations in a numerical expression. This order is the following:

1. Parenthesis

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication or division

4. Addition or Subtraction

Use this sequence when simplifying and solving the expression:

Expression 1

$((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30\\\\=((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)-30\\\\=(5*4)-30\\\\=20 - 30\\\\= -10$

Expression 2

$30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)\\\\=30-((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)\\\\=30-(5*4)\\\\= 30-20\\\\= 10$
