-8 – 52 ÷ 13 x 3^2 + 5 what are the steps?

Answer 1

try to work through it in the same way as the last one on your own first

Answer 2

Go back to the order of operations and try it one step at a time

Answer 3

52 doesn't go into 117 evenly im stuck at that point..

Answer 4

ah, ok

Answer 5

-8 – 52 ÷ 13 x 3^2 + 5
3 * 3 = 9
9 * 13 = 117
52 / 117 = 4

Answer 6

this time the answer won't be a whole number, but you're on the right track.
-8 + 52/117 + 5 is a good place to be

Answer 7

we can add -8 and 5 to simplify it to
-3+52/117

Answer 8

which comes out to -23/9 as a simplified fraction

Answer 9

So what are the steps after 9 * 13 = 117 further going how I have it set up?

Answer 10

-8 – 52 ÷ 13 x 3^2 + 5
3 * 3 = 9
9 * 13 = 117
52 / 117 = 2.25
2.25 + 5 = 7.25
-8 – 7.25 = -15.25
I think this is wrong?

Answer 11

do 52÷13 before x9
Division and Multiplication are done whichever is on the left first.
Final answer = -39
