Help me!!!! lol

Answer 3

Another Order of Operations Problem, okay.

What do you think is the first thing you should do?

Answer 4

Parenthesis

Answer 5

Okay so 160 divided by 20 is?

Answer 6

8

Answer 7

Okay, so now you have 8, what do we do after that?

Answer 8

Umm 16-4=12

Answer 9

Is this what we do next?

Answer 10

Well, you aren't wrong, but we actually need to Solve (8)^4... which is...?

Answer 11

32 or 2 lol

Answer 12

No, that's 8 multiplied by 4. It's 8 to the power of 4.

Answer 13

oh mmkay

Answer 14

8 to the power of 4 is 4096

Answer 15

right?

Answer 16

Correct,
So according to PEMDAS, you're supposed to solve the Parentheses, then the Exponent and so on so forth.
So remember to do any parentheses then an exponent next time

Answer 17

kk

Answer 18

Now all we have to do is add and subtract, what do we do now?

Answer 19

8+4096

Answer 20

I'm not sure where that 8 came from...

Answer 21

\[16 - 4 + 4096\]
This is your equation so far

Answer 22

sorry 12+ 4096 lol

Answer 23

Rookie mistake. lol

Answer 24

Yep, which equals 5108

Answer 25

thanks i need you to help me help someone out if you can

Answer 26

See you would think you would add 4 and 4096, and then subtract 16 by 5100, but actually you just add/subtract straight across.

You're welcome :)

Answer 27

I can probably help your friend, that's what you're saying right?

Answer 28
