Question

How can i simplify

`25 - ( √(16) - 1) * (3 - 9){2}`

Answer 1

We will use PEMDAS rule to simplify the given expression.

PEMDAS rule is given by:

P
-Parentheses first

E
-Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD-Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS
-Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

`25-(√(16) -1) * (3-9) *2`

Step 1: P-parenthesis first.

(3-9) is -6

√16 -1 = 4-1 =3

So new expression becomes :
`25-3*(-6)*2`

Step 2:

Multiplying (-3)*(-6)*2

We get +36

So new expression becomes : 25 +36

Step 3: Addition

Adding 25 and 36 we get 61

So final answer is 61 .
