Answer 17

good

Answer 18

Answer 23

The problem asks me if dividing 40 by 4 the next step.

Answer 24

wait well what is the entire question? @XxMuslimxX

Answer 25

The next step in simplifying this expression is to divide 40 by 4. True, or False?

Answer 26

It's False, right?

Answer 27

correct its false due to PEMDAS

Answer 28

well if you follow PEMDAS explicitly, then

P comes first. P for parenthesis. There's nothing to do with parenthesis
E comes next, E for exponents. We compute 3^3 to get 27

so the next step should be turning 3^3 into 27. The division part comes later
