Question

How would I solve the question below? In what order would I solve it? 4 ⋅ 3 + 2 ⋅ 9 − 40

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply 4 and 3, and 2 and 9 separately, then add them, then subtract 40. Remember PEMDAS.

(4*3) + (2*9) - 40

12 + 18 - 40

-10

Hope that helps

Answer 2

First you’d multiply your steps so
(4 • 3) + (2 • 9) - 40. After multiplying, solve the equation left to right. Add the two products and subtract by 40. Gotta remember PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction
