42 – 2(3 • 5 + 1) =

42 - 2(16) =
42-32 = ?

32-8 actually. Not 42-32. 42(the 2 is an exponent. So it be 24.

To find the value of the expression 42 - 2(3 • 5 + 1), we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division [from left to right], Addition and Subtraction [from left to right]).

First, we solve the expression inside the parentheses: 3 • 5 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16.

Then, we multiply the result by 2: 2(16) = 32.

Finally, we subtract 32 from 42: 42 - 32 = 10.

So, the value of 42 - 2(3 • 5 + 1) is 10.

For the symbol between -2 and |–3| to make a true statement, we compare the absolute value of -3 (represented as |-3|) with -2.

The absolute value of -3 is the positive value of -3, which is 3.

So, the comparison becomes -2 ? 3.

To determine the correct symbol between -2 and 3, we need to ascertain which is greater.

Since -2 is less than 3, the correct symbol is < (less than). Therefore, the symbol needed between -2 and |–3| to make a true statement is <.

To find the value of (32 + 1) - 14 ÷ 2, we again follow the order of operations.

First, we perform the division: 14 ÷ 2 = 7.

Then, we add 1 to 32: 32 + 1 = 33.

Finally, we subtract 7 from 33: 33 - 7 = 26.

So, the value of (32 + 1) - 14 ÷ 2 is 26.
