Question

Help

Answer 1

\(3 \times 4^2 - 5 \times 2^3 + (-14) - 3 \times 6\)

You must follow the correct order of operations.
Do the exponents first.

\(3 \times \color{red}{4^2} - 5 \times \color{red}{2^3} + (-14) - 3 \times 6\)

Answer 2

Ok then multiply?

Answer 3

\(3 \times \color{red}{16} - 5 \times \color{red}{8} + (-14) - 3 \times 6\)

Now you do multiplications and divisions in order from left to right.

Answer 4

\(\color{red}{3 \times 16} - \color{red}{5 \times 8} + (-14) - \color{red}{3 \times 6}\)

Do the 3 multiplications in red above.

Answer 5

\(\color{red}{48} - \color{red}{40} + (-14) - \color{red}{18}\)

Now do additions and subtractions in order from left to right.

\(48 - 40 + (-14) - 18\)

\(8 + (-14) - 18\)

\(-6 - 18\)

\(-24\)
