FAN AND MEDAl (: What is the value of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to simplify the answer. what do you you know already in the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AmazingApples00 really not sure they make us take a test on something we are about to learn learn it then take the test again and see our progress so i havent learned it yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parenthesis expo-nits multiply divide add subtract ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know absolute value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not the absolute value part no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. so absolute value are the two weird looking parenthesis signs. you follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It makes the answer of the equation in it, positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20-6 + 8 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. but since we go by PEMDAS, we first have to do whatever is in the parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 20-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now the absolute value sign covers what two numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 and 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. so now we do 14+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good. now lets just leave that there. lets look at the other side of the equation. If we go by PEMDAS, what two numbers will we do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 , 12 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

amazing! so whats 6x12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great! now what do you think we will do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put them together ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put what numbers together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry internet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its fine. so 72+4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to go, but right after you find the answer to that you will multiply it by the nuber that we had just left behind. (22) :) hope i helped!
