Question

Which operation should be performed first according to the order of operations?

44 ÷ 2 + 9 – [120 – (5 + 10 • 7)]

A.
44 ÷ 2

B.
2 + 9

C.
5 + 20

D.
10 • 7

Answer 1

Always parenthesis first. So now we have (120-(5+10x7))
In the parenthesis, again the parenthesis goes first
SO we have (5+10 x 7)
Now multiplication goes first
10 times 7
So the very first thing you should do in this question is to multiply 10 by 7

Answer 2

The answer is D because you have to sneer what is in the parentheses first
