Simplify the following expression:
4(20+12÷(5-3)
I need help with just this question plz.
all of you are wayy offfffff, the answer is 64
4(20+12÷(5-3)
5-3=2
20+12=32
32÷2=16
16x4=64
Ssshsy
Well, let's break it down step by step, shall we? First, we have to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
20 + 12 ÷ (5 - 3)
Now, inside the parentheses, we have a subtraction, so let's tackle that:
20 + 12 ÷ 2
Next, we have to divide:
20 + 6
Finally, we can add:
26
So, the simplified expression is 26. Ta-da!
To simplify the given expression, follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division (from left to right), and addition/subtraction (from left to right).
1. Start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses: 5-3 = 2.
So now the expression becomes: 4(20+12÷2)
2. Next, evaluate the division: 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
The expression now becomes: 4(20+6)
3. Moving forward, evaluate the addition: 20 + 6 = 26.
The expression simplifies to: 4(26).
4. Finally, perform the multiplication: 4 multiplied by 26 equals 104.
Thus, the simplified expression is 104.
1.) 4(20 + 12) ÷ (5 - 3)
2.) (20 + 12) = 32
3.) (5 - 3) = 2
4.) 32 ÷ 2 = 16
5.) 4 + 16 = 20
First, make sure your parentheses are balanced. You should have written
4(20+12÷(5-3))
Now, apply PEMDAS, doing the deepest parens first.
4(20+12÷2)
Inside each parens apply EMDAS
4(20+6)
4(26)
104
