Answer: 14.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First we calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
|
\/
9 + 9 - [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex] = 14.
Now we add 9 + 9 to get 18.
18 - [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex] = 14.
Then, we divide 8 by 2 to get 4.
18 - 4 = 14.
Then we subtract 4 from 18 to get.....You guessed it, 14!
Answer: 14
PEMDAS
P: Parentheses
E: Exponets
M: Multiplcaction
D: Divison
A: Addition
S: Subtraction
PEMDAS can also be known as Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
P: [tex](9-8/2)[/tex]
E: [tex]3^2[/tex]
M: [tex]3*3[/tex]
D: [tex]8/2[/tex]
A: [tex]9+5[/tex]
S: [tex]9-8/2[/tex]
Multiply
E: [tex]3^2=3*3=9[/tex]
M: [tex]3*3=9[/tex]
Divide
D: [tex]8/2=4[/tex]
Subtract
S: [tex]9-4=5[/tex]
Add
A: [tex]9+5=14[/tex]
Answer: [tex]14[/tex]
The reason why we didn't use P to get our answer because it would of messed up the steps. So instead we separated it by dividing 8/2 in D and 9-4-5 for S.
