Simplify the expression 53 + 3(5 − 3). 137 131 27 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 5^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First subtract 5 - 3, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait..is it this? \(5^3 + 3(5 - 3)\) or is it \(5^3 + 3^{(5 - 3)}\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(5^{3}+3(5-3)\) Is this the question. @pinkiepieinthetardis

pemdas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MSxSammiBooxX Actually, PEMDAS, parenthesis first :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can't help till you confirm the equation. @pinkiepieinthetardis \(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @iGreen. Wait..is it this? \(5^3 + 3(5 - 3)\) or is it \(5^3 + 3^{(5 - 3)}\) \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Holy crap, yeah. Well dang LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol

P: Parenthesis. E: Exponents. M: Multiplication. D: Division. A: Addition. S: Subtraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

th first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it.. Continue :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, right so you said 5 - 3 is 2. So we have: \(5^3 + 3(2)\) Now simplify the exponent. \(5^3 \rightarrow 5 \times 5 \times 5\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And what's 5 * 5 * 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanx guise @MSxSammiBooxX @confluxepic ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

125

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

No problem. @iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem x) Anyways, sorry for the mix up there. Happens here and there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: \(125 + 3(2)\) Now multiply 3 * 2. @pinkiepieinthetardis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, everyone makes mistakes all the time @MSxSammiBooxX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You there? @pinkiepieinthetardis Multiply 3 * 2
