To find the value equivalent to 8 · 9 - 2 · 5, we can first perform the multiplications and then do the subtraction.
8 · 9 = 72
2 · 5 = 10
Now, we subtract 10 from 72:
72 - 10 = 62
Therefore, the value equivalent to 8 · 9 - 2 · 5 is 62.
The correct answer is:
A) 62
To find the value that is equivalent to 8 · 9 - 2 · 5, 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).
So, we first need to perform the multiplication:
8 · 9 = 72
2 · 5 = 10
Now we can subtract these two values:
72 - 10 = 62
Therefore, the value that is equivalent to 8 · 9 - 2 · 5 is 62.
Hence, the correct option is A) 62.
