In which line was the mistake made? Line 1 6(4) ÷ 2 − 1 + 5 Line 2 6(4) ÷ 1 + 5 Line 3 24 ÷ 1 + 5 Line 4 24 + 5 Line 5 29

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first needs to solve parenthesis, so where is the mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

line 1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

sounds like line 1 is the actual problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so line 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat problem in line1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, line 2 makes a mistake. It subtracts before performing multiplication/division which means order of operations was not applied correctly.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Line 2
