3+14(12x2)-7=
a. 29
b. 33
c.40
d. none of the above
I forgot to put that I think the answer is 33
you got the correct answer. the answer is 33
3+14(12x2)-7
3+14(24)-7
3+336-7
= 33? I think not.
To solve the expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right).
Let's break down the expression step by step:
1. Start with the multiplication inside the parentheses: 12 x 2 = 24.
2. Multiply 14 by 24: 14 x 24 = 336.
3. Add the result from step 2 to 3: 3 + 336 = 339.
4. Finally, subtract 7 from 339: 339 - 7 = 332.
So, the correct answer is not among the options provided (d. none of the above).
