Do order of operation. So what do you do first?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
add 40+5
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Correct. It's going to give you 45. (You already know this)
So your equation should look like:
[(45) - 3^2] ÷ 9 · 2
What do you do next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sovle the exponent
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
What does 3^2 give you?:

9
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
What do you do next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9x2?
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Nope. So far your equation looks like:
[(45) - 9] ÷ 9 · 2
What does order of operation say?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve from left to right?

Do you know PEMDAS?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Good.
So it says to do parenthesis or bracket first.
Do you have any parenthesis or bracket?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
both
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
So what do you think you have to do first?

45-9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which 36
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Correct. Now your equation look like:
[36] ÷ 9 · 2
What do you do next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
multple
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Hmm. Why do you multiply first? o.o.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
because of order of operations
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
I thought Order of Operations said:
"Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right. "
:)
So what do you do next? (By the way, the way you did was a common mistake. )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so we would divde
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Okay. So after division, what would you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4
