Question

Determine the first expression to evaluate in each problem (3+3)+6÷3+6

Answer 1

Time for the Order of Operations!
PEMDAS, its easy dont worry!
P for Parenthesis
E for Exponents
M/D for Multiplication/Division
A/S for Addition/Subtraction
we should always follow the order of operations!

(3+3)+6÷3+6
1st step: We've got parenthesis:
(3+3)=(6) done
2nd step: Check for exponents, Looks like we dont have them!
3rd step: M/D? no multiplication, But we do have division.
(6)+6 ÷ 3 + 6
6 + 2 + 6
4th and last step: Finally, we are going to end this!
A/S? Yes!!!! Addition, No Subtraction!
6 + 2 + 6 = 14

Final Answer: 14

Answer 2

To know what to do first in a math problem we look to order of operations... PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. So to begin we look for parentheses... do we have any? Why, yes, yes we do. Let's work!

(3+3) + 6 / 3 + 6 =

Add 3+3 in the parentheses. Since there is nothing else, the parentheses can go away.

6 + 6 / 3 + 6 =

Now, any exponents? Nope... Multiplication? Nope... division? Yes! Let's go!

6 + 2 + 6 =

Now all we have left is addition... Go for it!

8 + 6 = 14

Done!
