Question

What do u get if u times 3 by a billion and then take away 754 then times by 2

Answer 1

Here is the equation:

`3 * 1,000,000,000 - 754 * 2`

Use PEMDAS

`Parentheses \\ Exponents \\ Multiplication \\ Division \\ Addition \\ Subtraction`

The order for addition and subtraction doesn't matter. You do the one in the beginning first. Start with multiplication.

`3 * 1,000,000,000 = 3,000,000,000`

Do the next part with multiplication:

`754 * 2 = 1,508`

Subtraction is at the end, so you do it last. Subtract:

`3,000,000,000 - 1,508 = 2,999,998,492`

Your answer is 2,999,998,492
