Simplify. 2 + 4 • (6 – 3) A. 18 B. 14 C. 23 D. 33
2 + 4 * (6 - 3) Parenthesis: 2 + 4 * 3 Multiplication: 2 + 12 Addition: 14
...
Just tell me the answer!
First find your solution to what ever is in parenthesis. in this case, 6-3 which equals 3.
That's it..14..@JillyCraft64
Thats not how it works. I will tell you how to get the answer, I wont just tell you the answer
You aren't supposed to do that. :/
Well some people say A. B. C. or D. Now that seems Easier
I can.
It really easy, @JillyCraft64 Will you just let me show you howto get the answer?
@JillyCraft64 Maybe it does, but you're not supposed to give out answers WITHOUT explanation.
And don't you think it's better to have an explanation? That way you know the person has answered your question correctly.
WELL im Clueless
Let me show you.
i know theres a d word but i cant spell it and DONT show me
You have to follow PEMDAS. P is Parenthesis, you do this first if there is a parenthesis. You have to follow PEMDAS in the Parenthesis, too. E is Exponent, you do this next. M and D is Multiplication and Division, you do whichever one comes first from left to right. A and S is Addition and Multiplication, you do whichever one comes first from left to right.
@JillyCraft64 Can you solve \(12 \div 3 \times 4~?\)
16?
Yes! You divide first, then you multiply.
How about this one? \(6 + (3^2 - 4)\)
...
Do you know what exponents are? @JillyCraft64
Have you learned about them yet..?

I URGE YOU TO READ THIS This is easier to understand. But if you look at it you will realize its supppeeerrr easy!!! I thought it was hard when I was learning how to do this (7th grade) but trust me, once you understand how to do this, its really easy. :) Tell me if you need anymore help! You should use the order of operations, pmdas (parenthesis, multiplication, division, addition, and last subtraction. 2+4*(6-3) IN the order of operations parenthesis are first...so 6-3= 3 Now our equation will look like this- 2+4*3... since we figured out (6-3) we replace the question with an answerand move on. 2+4*3 Since multiplication is next, we have to know what to multiply. The numbers to the left and to the right of the multiplication sign are 4 and 3 so... 4*3=12 = 12 Again, we will replace the question (4*3) with an answer(12). Now the equation looks like this--- 2+12 Division is next, there aren't any division signs in this equation, so we skip this step. The Then theres addition, there is one addition sign so... 2+12= 14... and that's! Your answer is 14. Reply Using Drawing
that last sentence wasn't supposed to be there
