Question

Can anyone land a hand pls

Answer 1

26+(10-2³)/4+3•6
First indices(exponents)
26+(10-8)/4+3•6
Then solve the bracket
26+(2)/4+3•6
Division and multiplication occurs from left to right
26+0.5+18
Add them up to get 44.5

Answer 2

`(89)/(2)` or
`44 (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given the problem,
`26 + (10 - 2^3)/4 + 3 * 6`

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations. Start by working on the terms inside the parenthesis:
`2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8`

= 26 + (10 - 8) ÷ 4 + 3 × 6

= 26 + (2) ÷ 4 + 3 × 6

Next, divide 2 by 4:
`(2)/(4) = (1)/(2)`

= 26 +
`(1)/(2)` + 3 × 6

Multiply 3 and 6:

= 26 +
`(1)/(2)` + 18

Add 26 and
`(1)/(2)` :

=
`26 + (1)/(2) = (26*2 + 1)/(2) = (53)/(2)` + 18

Add
`(53)/(2)` and 18. Convert 18 into fraction:

=
`(53)/(2) + 18 = (53)/(2) + (18*2)/(2) = (18*2+53)/(2) = (89)/(2)`

`(89)/(2)` =
`44 (1)/(2)` (convert
`(89)/(2)` by dividing 89 by 2 to get
`44 (1)/(2)`).

Therefore, the correct answer is
`(89)/(2)` or
`44 (1)/(2)`.
