D.4

Answer 1

(3/4)*[12*4+(-16)]+(-20)

PEMDAS is order of operations...

Parentheses first, exponents next, multiplication/division, finally addition/subtraction.

So the first thing you need to address is the innermost parentheses

(3/4)[12*4-16]+(-20) now you have multiplication in one set of parentheses

(3/4)[48-16]+(-20) now you still have addition/subtraction in the middle parentheses

(3/4)(32)+(-20) and you have a multiplication in for the last parentheses

(3/4)(32)-20 we have multiplication on left side

96/4-20 now we have division on left

24-20 and finally subtraction
