Question

What is the value of the expression
32 x (2 + 3 4) – 5?

Answer 1

To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number. To evaluate an expression, we substitute the given number for the variable in the expression and then simplify the expression using the order of operations.

Answer 2

I'm assuming the x meant multiplication than a variable, when a number is next the parenthesis it means multiplied already.

32(2 + 34) -5

32(2+34)−5 first solve what is going on within the parenthesis 2 + 34 is 36

= (32)(36)−5 Then multiplication comes next, multiplying 32 x 36

= 1152−5 The product is 1152 so then you subtract 5

= 1147 With the final answer of 1147
