18/2-[36-20]x4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that x for multiplication, or is it \(x^4\) or ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes for multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so what's 36-20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And 18/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And 16*4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but am i allowed to like touch the fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is 7th grade math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi arada

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why can't you divide the fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea it's not very hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi luzk04 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that im confused weather to divide the fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No but I'm just wondering. So let me see my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok first do 36-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good now rewrite the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

done that i got -15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 18/2-15x4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you ever heard of BODMAS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{18}{2}-[36-20]*4 = 9-[16]*4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? oh i havent been taught to do it like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean PEMDAS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16*4 = 64 so \[9-16*4 = 9-64 = -55\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is just how i would do it. then i just do it in a calculator or whatever and presto you got -51. wait that don't sound right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wat does BODMAS means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i mean BODMAS, Brackets, etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's for the first bit though. isn't it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is 36-20? 16 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on i did it wrong soz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @polpak

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 4*16 = 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to do multiplication before addition/subtraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea. lol. blank minded sometimes. sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know i did that it gave me -15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH SHOOT I DID IT WRONG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put 6 instead of 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you have \[\frac{18}{2} - [36-20]*4 \] \[=9-16*4\] \[=9-64 = -55\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKYOU POLPAK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AND ARADA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so umm 18/2-64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
