Question

What is the value of the expression below?

(9 divided by 3)+4( 6-7)

a)-7
b)-1
c)7
d)20

Answer 1

First brackets:
(9 : 3) = 3(6 - 7) = (-1)
Next product
4(6 - 7) = 4(-1) = -4
Next sum
(9 : 3) + 4(6 - 7) = 3 + (-4) = -1
Answer: b) -1

Answer 2

b)
`-1`.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the value of the expression
`((9)/(3))+4(6-7)`.

We will use order of operations (PEMDAS) to solve our given problem.

P: Parenthesis,

E : Exponent,

M/D : Multiply/Divide (From left to right)

A/S : Add/Subtract (From left to right)

First of all, we will remove parenthesis as:

`3+4(-1)`

`3-4`

`-1`

Therefore, the value of our given expression is
`-1`.
