I need help with this order of operations problem. also x in the problem is the multiplication symbol.
44-4x(5+3x2)
I got
44-4x(11)
40x11=440
Am I correct?
no it is 0 bc
44-4x(5+3x2)
44-4x(5+6)
44-4x11
44-44
=0
Thank you. That makes sense. I was doing the order of operations wrong.
no problem
To solve this order of operations problem, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction), follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify what is inside the parentheses.
5 + 3 × 2 = 5 + 6 = 11
Step 2: Multiply 4 by the result from Step 1.
4 × 11 = 44
Step 3: Subtract the result from Step 2 from 44.
44 - 44 = 0
Therefore, the correct answer to the expression 44 - 4x(5 + 3x2) is 0, not 440.
