how do I find the value of
|45-27/3x(5-8)|? the "/" means divide
First subtract 45-27 = 18
Then subtract 5-8 = -3.
Next multiply 3 by -3 = -9
then divide 18 by -9 = -2
finally, the absolute value of -2 = 2.
You must use parentheses.
Is this your problem?
|(45 - 27)/(3x(5-8))|?
Also, please use * for the multiplication sign.
Using "x" is confusing since "x" is a variable.
To find the value of the expression |45 - 27/3 * (5 - 8)|, we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
1. Start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:
5 - 8 = -3
2. Next, calculate the division:
27 / 3 = 9
3. Now, multiply the result of step 2 by the result of step 1:
9 * (-3) = -27
4. Finally, subtract the obtained value from 45 (the absolute value):
|45 - (-27)| = |45 + 27| = |72| = 72
Therefore, the value of |45 - 27/3 * (5 - 8)| is 72.
