Evaluate each expression. See Example 5. 6 • 3 - 12 ÷ 4

Question

Accepted Answer

Hello, today we're going to be evaluating the following expression using the order of operations. So the order of operations follows that we evaluate anything in parentheses first, then we evaluate any exponents followed by any multiplication, followed by division, followed by addition and finally ending with subtraction. So let's take a look at the given expression. We are given nine multiplied by five minus 63 divided by seven. Now there are no parentheses or exponents in the following expression. So we can check those off the list. We then want to follow by evaluating any multiplication. We do have multiplication in the given expression nine multiplied by five. So we're going to have to evaluate that first nine multiplied by five will give us the value of 45. So we are left with 45 minus 63 divided by seven. Now that we're done with multiplication, we want to check for any division. We do have division in the given expression. We have 63 divided by seven 63 divided by seven will evaluate to give us nine. So what we are left with is 45 minus nine. Now that we're done with division we need to check any addition, but there is no addition left. So we just need to finish with subtraction. 45 minus nine will give us a final value of 36. So the answer to this problem is going to be 36. Therefore, the answer will be B so I hope this video helps you in understanding how to approach this problem. And I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video.
