Answer 1

Use your order of operations to solve this,
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Answer 2

can you show me

Answer 3

The order of operations dictate that you first work the parenthesis, so in this instance you will first take a look at the (3+2^3). Then you will again apply the order of operations. As there are no parenthesis inside you move to the next one, exponents, how would you proceed?

Answer 4

2^3

Answer 5

Exactly, so what does 2^3 evaluate to?

Answer 6

6

Answer 7

2*2*2

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

2*2=4, 4*2=

Answer 10

8

Answer 11

Right, so now you move to the next operation until you find one. So you now have (3+8), what is the next operation you can perform?

Answer 12

then you add 5+2. Right?

Answer 13

You are not done inside the parenthesis yet so, no.

Answer 14

you add them together in the par?

Answer 15

Yes, good.

Answer 16

so it will be 11

Answer 17

Yes.

Answer 18

Okay, so now you are left with
5+2(11)
Since there is nothing more you can do inside the parenthesis, you step outside and start over. PEMDAS. Going in order, what is the first operation you can do?

Answer 19

you will only add up

Answer 20

No, look at the order, you can write the expression like this:
5+2*11
First are there parens? Next is there multiplication? Next is there Division? Next is there addition? Finally is there subtraction?
What question gets answered first?

Answer 21

ow 2*11

Answer 22

Yes

Answer 23

then 22+5?

Answer 24

Yes, and lastly, what is your final answer?
