Use the order of operations to simplify 12-2^3+4 divide 2+2^4

Question

Use the order of operations to simplify 12-2^3+4 divide 2+2^4

Answer 1

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

2^3 = 8

Now, let's evaluate the expression inside the brackets:

2^4 = 16

Now, let's simplify the entire expression using the order of operations:

12 - 8 + 4 ÷ 2 + 16

Next, let's perform the division:

12 - 8 + 2 + 16

Now, let's perform the remaining subtraction and addition to get the final answer:

12 + 2 + 2 + 16 = 32
