Question

Simplify the expression using the order of operations agreements.
-8÷2+2×8=
​

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

PEMDAS is the order

P = parenthesis

E = exponent

M = *

D = division

A = +

S = -

so first 8*2 = 16

and then -8/2 = -4

and then -4 + 16

= 12

Answer 2

BODMAS can be used:
1. Division; -8 divided by 2 = -4
2. Multiplication; 2 times 8 = 16
3. Add; -4 plus 16 = 12

Therefore the answer is 12.
