Answer 5

okay looked at it but i knew pemdas,, but how can i multiple something?

Answer 6

you need to memorize multiplication tables. For basic example, think of multiplying like taking a number and adding it a certain number of times.

Answer 7

5*4 = 20, you can think of this as 5+5+5+5 =20 or 4+4+4+4+4 = 20. The five is added 4 times and the 4 is added 5 times. It doesn't matter which way you approach the problem.

Answer 8

hmm so i can write the equation as i want but the solution should be same?

Answer 9

yes because multiplication and addition are "commutative" meaning that you can do it in any order. But watch out for division and subtracting as different rules apply

Answer 10

hmm ok thanks
