Question

Which is the last operation performed when evaluating (8-2) + 4 for x = 3?

addition
multiplication
subtraction
applying the exponent

Answer 1

Addition- it always comes last along with subtraction. (BEDMAS for brackets then exponents then division and multiplication then addition and subtraction) so even though there is a subtraction of a number, 8-2 it is in brackets so it comes before the addition of +4

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Addition because 8-2 = 6 and then you add the 4
