Please help :) 29+(5*2)/(10-8) The answer I came up with is 34. May someone tell me if I'm correct or not? Thank you

Follow the Order of Operations. P arentheses E xponents M ultiplication D ivision A ddition S ubtraction First we do Parentheses from left to right so the first parentheses we see is what?

OpenStudy (amberlynnmaxwell):

5*2, which equals 10

jabez177 (jabez177):

Good. Now what about the other parentheses? :)

OpenStudy (amberlynnmaxwell):

10-8=2

jabez177 (jabez177):

Now we have \[29+10\div2\]

jabez177 (jabez177):

So we do division first, then addition/subtraction.

OpenStudy (amberlynnmaxwell):

10/2 is 5 and 29+5=34

jabez177 (jabez177):

Then you are correct. :)

OpenStudy (amberlynnmaxwell):
