Question

Explain how'd we get 20.

13 - 2 (1 - 15) divided by 4

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate this expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is represented by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction).

First, let's simplify the expression within the parentheses:
1 - 15 = -14

Next, we perform the multiplication:
-2 * -14 = 28

Now, we can divide by 4:
28 divided by 4 = 7

Finally, we subtract 7 from 13:
13 - 7 = 6

Therefore, the result of the given expression is 6, not 20.

Answer 2

Simplify the expression. 13−2(1−15)÷4 (1 point) Responses -38.5 -38.5 7.25 7.25 -26 -26 20 20

6 is not one of the answers. Redo your problem then re explain what you got wrong.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's re-simplify the expression correctly:

First, within the parentheses:
1 - 15 = -14

Now, let's evaluate the expression within the multiplication:
2 * -14 = -28

Next, we can perform the division:
-28 ÷ 4 = -7

Finally, we subtract -7 from 13:
13 - (-7) = 13 + 7 = 20

Therefore, the simplified expression results in 20.

Answer 6

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).

Let's break down the expression step by step:

1. Start by evaluating what is inside the parentheses: 1 - 15 = -14.

So the expression becomes:

13 - 2(-14) divided by 4.

2. Next, we need to simplify the multiplication: 2 x (-14) = -28.

So the expression becomes:

13 - (-28) divided by 4.

3. Now, let's simplify the division: (-28) divided by 4 = -7.

So the expression becomes:

13 - (-7).

4. Finally, we can simplify the subtraction: 13 - (-7) = 13 + 7 = 20.

Therefore, the value of the expression 13 - 2(1 - 15) divided by 4 is 20.
