Question

After mentally completing the first step in the order of operations,

write the step that will be performed second.
[32 - (25÷ 5)] + 20

Answer 1

PEMDAS

Explanation:

The order of operations is a rule that tells the correct sequence of steps for evaluating a math expression. We can remember the order using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, and Division (from left to right), Addition, and Subtraction (from left to right).

That means we will solve between Parentheses :(25÷5)=5

Then, we will solve what is between brackets :[32 - 5] = 27

Lastly, we will solve 27+20 = 47
