its a mutilpy choice question the choices are addition, multiplication, and subtraction

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS to determine order of operations.

P = Parentheses

E = Exponents

M/D = Multiplication/Division

A/S = Addition/Subtraction

The operation in the parentheses must be performed first, which is the addition of 6.1 + 12.

The next operation to perform is multiplication, which is 415 times (6.1 + 12).

The last operation to perform is the subtraction of 415 times (6.1 + 12) from 8.3.

6.1 + 12 = 18.1

8.3 - 415(18.1)

8.3 - 7511.5 = -7503.2
