Answer:
- simplify parentheses
- evaluate the exponential term
- divide 40/8
- multiply 8*2
- add 5+9
- add 14+16
Step-by-step explanation:
40/8+3^2+(15-7)*2 . . . . given
The order of operations tells you to start by evaluating expressions in parentheses. Here, that is the subtraction of 7 from 15.
40/8 +3^2 +8*2 . . . . (15-7) = 8
Then you evaluate exponential terms.
40/8 +9 +8*2 . . . . . 3^2 = 9
Then perform multiplication and division, left to right. Here, division is first, then multiplication.
5 +9 +8*2 . . . . . divide 40/8 = 5
5 +9 +16 . . . . . . multiply 8*2 = 16
Finally, perform addition and subtraction, left to right.
14 +16 . . . . add 5+9
30 . . . . . . . add 14+16
