Question

9. Find the value of
the expression.
16 + 4 + (42 - 3) =

Answer 1

59

Explanation:

16 + 4 + (42-3) = 59. Do parentheses first. (42-3) = 39. Which changes the equation to 16 + 4 + (39). 39 + 4 = 43. Then the equation changes to 16 + 43. These added together equal 59. Hope this helps!

PEMDAS= Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and then subtraction.

This is the order in which to solve these types of equations, which is why I did the parentheses first.
