3+6x(5+4)/3-7 To evaluate the numerical expression, what is the first step in order of operations? PLEASE TELL ME I NEED TO KNOW OR MY MY WILL GO CRAZY PLEASE AND GOD BLESS YOU
What are your answer choices?
Your answer will be =>14
assuming the x is supposed to represent multiplication,
3+6x(5+4)/3-7
=3+6(5+4)/3
= 3 + 6(9)/3
= 3 + 54/3
= 3 + 18
= 21
confirm by entering
3+6(5+4)/3
into Google's search line
The x doesn't represent multiplication it's a variable.
Well , if x is a variable how can your answer be 14 , which is a constant ???
I am pretty sure that the poster meant x to be a multiplication sign.
The first step in the order of operations is to evaluate any calculations within parentheses or brackets. In this expression, we have the sub-expression (5+4). To find the value of (5+4), we add 5 and 4 together, which equals 9.
Therefore, the first step is to replace the sub-expression (5+4) with its value, 9. The expression now becomes:
3 + 6x9/3 - 7
