Question

Simplify the given expression.
5+(6-5)+5^2

Answer 1

PEMDAS - remember that multiplication and division are either or, the same as add and substract; based on what you are being asked to do. The equation should clearly express what it wants. Also, simplify the given expression is not asking you to solve the equation.

Explanation:

Step 1 Look at the problem

5 + (6 -5) + 5^2

Step 2 What would you do first based on order of operation

Parenthesis, so 5 + (6 -5) now becomes 5 + 1

Step 3 What's next based on order of operations

5^2 becomes 5 X 5 = 25

Step 4 Therefore the simplified expression then becomes easily solvable and easy to understand.

5 + 1 +25
