Question

What is (5•3) - 18 and can u explain y

Answer 1

The answer is -3

Explanation:

The answer is -3 because of the order of operations PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponent, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction)

Therefore, you would multiply the two numbers inside the parenthesis first, which would give you 15-18, and from there you can subtract 18 from 15 which would give you -3.

Answer 2

-3

Explanation:

You would find what the answer to (5•3) is then subtract that answer with 18. So it would be 15-18=-3
