Question

What is the value of the expression shown below? 7 + (10 - 4 )^2 divided 4 x (1/2)

Answer 1

43 / 2 = 21 1/2 = 21.5

Explanation:

7+(10-4)^2/ 4 (12) you can either multiply by 4(1/2)/4(12) or do the following

Subtract 4 from 10 to get 6.

7+6^2 / 4×( 1/2)

Calculate 6 to the power of 2 and get 36.

7+36 / 4×( 1/2 )

Add 7 and 36 to get 43.

43 / 4× 1/2

Multiply 4 and 1/2 ​ to get 2.

43 / 2 = 21 1/2 = 21.5

Answer 2

i’m pretty sure 21.5 because you do what is in parentheses first which is 10-4=6, then you square to equal 36 then add 7=43 and divide by 2 bc 4(1/2) is 2 and you get 43/2 which is 21.5
