Question

The order in which you perform operations matters in a numerical expression. O A. True B. False

Answer 1

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the numerical expression below:

`9+2*3`

If we solve from the left to the right, we have:

`9+2*3=11*3=33\text{ (Wrong Solution)}`

This result is incorrect.

However, by the order of operations, multiplication comes before addition, so we rightly have:

`9+2*3=9+6=15`

We see that if we do not follow the order of operations, our results will not be accurate.

Therefore, the order in which you perform operations matters in a numerical expression.

The answer is True.
