what is 5*8 over 3-7 + (5-3)2 squared over 2?
I got 40/4 + 9/2 = 49/4.
To solve this expression, you need to follow the order of operations or PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction).
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with the expression in the parentheses: (5-3)
This simplifies to 2.
2. Next, solve the exponent: 2 squared.
2 squared means 2 raised to the power of 2, which is equal to 4.
3. Now let's calculate the multiplication: 5 * 8 and (5-3)2 squared
5 * 8 = 40
(5-3)2 squared = 2 squared = 4
4. Now calculate the division: 40 / (3-7) and 4 / 2
(3-7) = -4
40 / -4 = -10
4 / 2 = 2
5. Finally, perform the addition and subtraction: -10 + 2
-10 + 2 = -8
The final result of the expression is -8.
