Question

What would be the second step in simplifying the expression 4to the 2nd ÷(2•9) + 5

Answer 1

we have

4to the 2nd ÷(2•9) + 5​

so

`\begin{gathered} 4^2/(2\cdot9)+5 \\ \text{Solve the product in the parenthesis} \\ 16/(18)+5 \\ solve\text{ the division} \\ (16)/(18)+5 \\ \end{gathered}`

therefore

the next step is multiply
