3 x (8 + 5) + 2
(3 * 13) + 2 = 41
Now you try the second problem.
is the answer to number 2 40.5?
9 x (8 / 4 x 5)
9 * (2 * 5) = 9 * 10 = 90
Or it could be
9 * (8/20) = 72/20 = 3 12/20 = 3 3/5
Sure! I can help you with those expressions.
1. To solve 3 x (8 + 5) + 2, first perform the operation inside the parentheses: 8 + 5 = 13. Then multiply 3 by 13: 3 x 13 = 39. Finally, add 2 to get the answer: 39 + 2 = 41.
2. Now let's solve 9 x (8 / 4 x 5). First, perform the division inside the parentheses: 8 / 4 = 2. Next, multiply the result by 5: 2 x 5 = 10. Finally, multiply 9 by 10 to get the answer: 9 x 10 = 90.
To solve these expressions, I followed the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right). This helps ensure that the calculations are done correctly.
