Can you explain to me how to answer this? (17+97)x2

To answer this math question, you will need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS).

PEMDAS is an acronym that stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction. The order of operations tells you to perform any calculations inside parentheses first, then any exponents, then multiplication or division (from left to right), and finally addition or subtraction (from left to right).

In the expression (17+97)x2, there are no parentheses or exponents, so you will start with the multiplication.

17+97 equals 114, so the expression now becomes:

114 x 2

Multiplying 114 and 2, your final answer is:

228.

I don't this thats correct because when I did the steps you gave me = 17+97x2= 211.

Nevermind, thank you!

Certainly! To answer the expression (17+97)x2, we need to perform two operations: addition and multiplication.

First, we start with the addition operation inside the parentheses: 17 + 97 = 114.

Next, we take the result of the addition (which is 114) and multiply it by 2.

Multiplication is performed by multiplying the two numbers together, so 114 x 2 = 228.

Therefore, the answer to (17+97)x2 is 228.
