Capitolo 1, Problema R.2.93

Evaluate each expression. See Example 5. -8 + (-4) (-6) ÷ 12 4 - (-3)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
First, rewrite the expression clearly to understand the order of operations: \(-8 + (-4) \times (-6) \div 12 \times 4 - (-3)\).
Apply the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): start with multiplication and division from left to right before addition and subtraction.
Calculate the product \((-4) \times (-6)\), remembering that multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number.
Next, divide the result of the multiplication by 12, then multiply that quotient by 4, following the left-to-right rule for multiplication and division.
Finally, perform the addition and subtraction operations in order: add \(-8\) to the result from the previous step, then subtract \(-3\) (which is equivalent to adding 3).

Order of Operations

The order of operations dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations are performed: parentheses first, then multiplication and division from left to right, followed by addition and subtraction from left to right. This ensures consistent and correct evaluation of expressions.
