Question

"Evaluate the expression.

78 - 2^4 ÷ (14 - 6) x 2"
please explain how you get your answer.
thanks

Answer 1

Let’s use pemdas or bodmas
Let’s solve separately first

2^4 = 2’s power 4 = 2*2*2*2 = 16
14-6 = 8
2” = 2*2 = 4

78 - 16 / 8 * 4
= 78 - 2 * 4
= 78 - 8 = 70

Answer 2

equal to 74

Explanation:

To evaluate the expression, we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):

1. Start with the exponent: 2^4 = 16
2. Next, evaluate the division: 14 - 6 = 8
3. Then, divide 16 by 8: 16 ÷ 8 = 2
4. Next, multiply the result by 2: 2 x 2 = 4
5. Finally, subtract 4 from 78: 78 - 4 = 74

So the expression 78 - 2^4 ÷ (14 - 6) x 2 is equal to 74.
