To rewrite the expression "15/3 + 2x11" using parentheses so that it has a value of 33, we can modify the order of operations by performing the multiplication before the addition.
Step 1: Evaluate the multiplication expression. The expression "2x11" equals 22.
Step 2: Rewrite the expression with parentheses to prioritize the multiplication: "15/3 + (2x11)".
Step 3: Evaluate the addition expression inside the parentheses: 2x11 = 22.
Step 4: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: "15/3 + 22".
Step 5: Evaluate the division expression outside the parentheses: 15/3 = 5.
Step 6: Simplify the entire expression: 5 + 22 = 27.
The expression "15/3 + 2x11" with parentheses "15/3 + (2x11)" has a value of 27, not 33.
