Question

What is the value of the expression 7 + 52 × (7 – 3)?

Answer 1

Recall that you do the parentheses first. After doing the parentheses, what do you get?

Answer 2

What an...interesting way of solving the problem. @JuJuMcGhee , what do you get after multiplying the parentheses?

Answer 3

7 + (5 * 2^3) * ( 7 - 3)
7 + ( 5 * 8) * ( 4)
7 + 40 *4
7 + 160
167
PEMDAS first
is 52 the number 52 or 5^2

Answer 4

@AwesomeB , I am confused about how you are solving the problem. What is this 5*2^3 you keep writing?
@JuJuMcGhee , what do you get with the parentheses?

Answer 5

I solved it because i am not sure it the 52 is suppose to be 5^2
