Question

4 x 3 + 2 x 9 - 40 PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

-10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Explain/define

This problem contains more than one operation. This means we should solve this using a special acronym known as PEMDAS.

P (Parenthesis)

E (Exponents)

M/D (Multiplication/division, whichever comes first)

A/S (Addition/subtraction, whichever comes first)

This is the correct sequence of steps when solving expressions with multiple operations.

PEMDAS can be remembered using the mnemonic "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally."

------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: Solve.

REMEMBER PEMDAS!

Expression given: 4 × 3 + 2 × 9 - 40

There are no parentheses.

There are no exponents.

There is multiplication, but no division.

4 × 3 + 2 × 9 - 40

12 + 18 - 40

There is addition and subtraction. Remember to solve whichever comes first.

12 + 18 - 40

30 - 40

30 - 40 = -10.

I, therefore, believe the answer to 4 × 3 + 2 × 9 - 40 is -10.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
