Answer 11

@lerodge857 How'd you do it?

Answer 12

PEMDAS

Answer 13

I got it mastered!

Answer 14

you can do multiplication/division first...starting from left to right...then do add/subtract, starting from left to right....ending up with 48

Answer 15

first multiply then divide then subtract!!

Answer 16

It was 48 It showed me the correct answer and it was 48 for some reason it wasnt PEMDAS It was algebra practice or something like that.

Answer 17

hmmm I would have done PEMDAS

Answer 18

Me too But its always incorrect for some reasons!?!

Answer 19

pemdas can get confusing....because multiply/divide can be done from left to right in that order...then add/subtract from left to right

Answer 20

Oh yea thats why!

Answer 21

well beats me!!!

Answer 22

just remember this for your future problems..
P = parenthesis
E = exponent
M/D -- multiplication/division from left to right -- in that order
A/S -- add/subtract from left to right in that order

Answer 23

so it either or?

Answer 24

Yea is it!

Answer 25

yes...its either or
example :
2 + 4/2 * 6 =
2 + 2 * 6
2 + 12
14
division came first, then multiplication, then addition

Answer 26

if it would have been :
2 * 4/2 + 6
2 * 2 + 6
4 + 6
10

Answer 27

all I am saying is that multiplication/division can be done at the same time if you go from left to right

Answer 28

just do all multiplication/division before adding/subtracting

Answer 29

Thanks :)
