Describe order of operation and give an example

Mathematics

ryzh [129]3 years ago

Order of Operation is commonly referred to as PEMDAS, an acronym for "Please excuse my dear aunt Sally," which references the order in which operations should  be calculated when solving a math problem.

P = parentheses

E = exponent

M = multiply

D = divide

A = add

S = subtract

So you don't always have all of these components, but you consider the ones present in the problem in front of you.    If there is no multiplication, but there is division and a set of parentheses, then you FIRST solve what's inside the parentheses, then  you divide.    If you have some examples, I'll show you.

Solve.<br><br> 5x-2y&lt;10<br> I give Brainliest!
Anestetic [448]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This is impossible to solve.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

For an equation or inequality to be solvable, there must be the same number of inequalities as variables. Here, there is an x and there is a y. This means that you need at least two inequalities to solve it.

You can, however, rearrange to get x or y on one side.

This can be done for x:

5x < 10 + 2y

x < 2 + 2/5y

Or it can be done for y:

5x < 10 + 2y

5x - 10 < 2y

2.5x - 5 < y
