Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of operations, use the operation within the parenthesis:

1) 5 - 2 = 3
2) 4*3 = 12

Distributive property, a(b + c) = ab + ac:

1) 4*5 - 4*2 = 20 - 8
2) 20 - 8 = 12

Both ways are correct and lead to same result

Answer:

111111 $\times$ 1111110 is the simple expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to be solved:

$\dfrac{6,666,666\times666,666 }{1+2+3+4+5+6+5+4+3+2+1} - \dfrac{777,777\times777,777}{1+2+3+4+5+6+7+6+5+4+3+2+1}$

First of all, let us solve the first term:

$\dfrac{6,666,666\times666,666 }{1+2+3+4+5+6+5+4+3+2+1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6666666\times666666 }{36}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6666666\times666666 }{6\times 6}\\\Rightarrow 1111111\times 111111$

Now, the right term:

$\dfrac{777777\times777777}{1+2+3+4+5+6+7+6+5+4+3+2+1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{777777\times777777}{49}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{777777\times777777}{7 \times 7}\\\Rightarrow 111111 \times 111111$
