how would I solve this
5(7-3/2) x 6
2*5=10*6=60 is this correct????
in the parenthesis..is that seven minus three-halves?
7-3/2=7-1.5=5.5
5*5.5 x6=27.5 * 6= not 60
I think it is 3 divided by 2
7x+3-2x
To solve the expression 5(7 - 3/2) × 6, you follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
1. Start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses: 7 - 3/2.
To subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. The denominator of 2 can be written as 2/1.
So, 7 - 3/2 = 14/2 - 3/2 = 11/2.
2. Multiply 5 by the simplified expression: 5 × (11/2) × 6.
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
5 × (11/2) × 6 = (5 * 11 * 6) / (2 * 1) = (330/2) * 6 = 165 * 6.
3. Finally, multiply 165 by 6: 165 * 6 = 990.
So, the correct answer is 990.
In this case, your solution of 60 is not correct. Remember to follow the proper order of operations to solve an expression.
