Answer 1

What line do you think?

Answer 2

The first one ? She was supposed to do the 6(4) ? @MDoodler

Answer 3

I see at least 2 mistakes there, not just one

Answer 4

No she can the 6(4) or the other side of the fraction first. It is line 4. Look at if carefully

Answer 5

But don't you have too do multiplication first ? 6(4) ismultilication @MDoodler

Answer 6

Line 4 is correct, @MDoodler

Answer 7

The problem is just like saying \[ \frac{6(4)} { 2 − 1 + 5}\]

You can do the stuff on top first or you can do the stuff on the bottom first

I will work the whole problem our for you

Answer 8

Okay @MDoodler

Answer 9

Sorry I am thinking of equations with a variable. This has no variable so
Line 1 from right to left.

She should do the times 6(4) and then divide by 2

Answer 10

Yes line one

Answer 11

so im right ?
@MDoodler

Answer 12

Yes ilovejustin. Follow the rules PEMDAS Multiply and then divide starting from right to left

Answer 13

Left to right I mean

Answer 14

PEMDAS = Parenthases - Exponents - Multiply - Divide - Add - Subtract.
These are the rules you follow from left to right when reading the problem.

Answer 15

Also, I would say line 2 because Line 1 is just the problem but in Line 2 you see where she made her mistake
