Question

8+3(5-1) =20 I am very confused on how this equals 20, someone please explain. thanks

Answer 1

Explanation:

first you have to do the subtraction in the parentheses so it's 8+3(4) and then you multiply the 3 by 4 (only the 3 because the 8 isn't next to the multiply) and then you have 12, add 8 and it's 20
