For each problem, did they follow: Parentheses first Exponents next Multiplication and Division next Addition and Subtraction last?

OpenStudy (tori040403):

no

OpenStudy (tori040403):

B did

OpenStudy (tori040403):

but i need to choose two .3.

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Yes, B did, but I see one other that did as well. For the other three, why do you think they're wrong?

OpenStudy (tori040403):

D?

OpenStudy (tori040403):

d did addition first.

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Yes, so we know that D is wrong. What, if anything, is wrong with C?

OpenStudy (tori040403):

oh wait parenthesis first and do the multiplication inside of the parenthesis, then add?

OpenStudy (tori040403):

whats wrong with c is that it does subtraction first.

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Yup. So, C and D are both wrong. Take a closer look at A. Is it OK?

OpenStudy (tori040403):

it does addition first Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
