A) 8
B) 10***
C) 11
D) 12
The statement above says "Simplify this problem"
Right!
To solve the given expression, you can follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction) to obtain the correct answer.
Let's break down the expression step by step:
1. Start with the innermost operation: 2^3, which means raising 2 to the power of 3. The result is 8.
2. Next, subtract 8 from 10: 10 - 8 = 2.
3. Multiply 3 by the result obtained in step 2: 3 * 2 = 6.
4. Finally, add 4 to the result obtained in step 3: 6 + 4 = 10.
Therefore, the correct answer is 10 (option B).
