what does it mean when using pemdas the parenthesis are (-13). And what is the answer to (-13) is it 13
(-13) = -13
|-13| = 13
Thank you!
You're welcome.
When using the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right), the expressions inside the parentheses are typically calculated first.
In the case of (-13), the parentheses indicate a negative sign applied to the number 13. When you have a negative sign in front of a number, it means that the number is being subtracted from zero. So (-13) is equivalent to 0 - 13.
To evaluate (-13) using this information, you would subtract 13 from 0: 0 - 13 = -13. Therefore, the answer to (-13) is indeed -13, not positive 13.
