Simplify
5(14-20²/2
My answer is 360
it should read 5(14-2)²/2
5 * ( 14 - 20 ) / 2 =
5 * ( - 6 ) / 2 = -30 / 2 = - 15
I am not sure your superscript shows up on everyone's screen.
5 (14-20)^2 /2
= 5 * 36 /2
= 5 * 18
= 90
It appears that the 0 was a typo for ), making the problem
5(14-2)^2/2 = 5*12^2/2 = 5*144/2 = 360
To simplify the expression 5(14 - 20²/2), we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction).
Step 1: Simplify the exponent.
We have 20², which means 20 raised to the power of 2. This equals 400.
Step 2: Divide 400 by 2.
400 divided by 2 equals 200.
Step 3: Subtract 200 from 14.
14 - 200 equals -186.
Step 4: Multiply -186 by 5.
-186 multiplied by 5 equals -930.
Therefore, the simplified expression for 5(14 - 20²/2) is -930.
