Question

Simplify using the order of operations
3^3 – 15 • 5​

Answer 1

-48

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply or Divide, Add or Subtract) to solve.

`3^3-15*5`

Since there is no parentheses, solve the exponent first.

`3^3` is the same thing as
`3*3*3` which is equal to 27.

The equation now looks like this

`27-15*5`

Next multiply and/or divide (in this case we only need to multiply).

`27-75`

Now add and/or subtract.

In this problem we only need to subtract.

27-75=-48
