Part A: Which operation should be performed first to simplify the expression?
Part B: Simplify the expression.
Part C: In a short paragraph, explain in your own words your work in parts A and B.

Answer 1

part A :BODMAS ( Bracket of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction )

part b; Bracket (2+3.2) = - 2- 3.2

= 16- 2-3.2 +30-5

ADDITION:-3.2+30 = - 33.2

16-2(-33.2)30-5

14-33.2 +30-5

14-33.2 +25

-19.2+25

-44.2

Explanation:

THE FOLLOWING EQUATION CAN ONLY BE SOLVED USING BODMAS
