Question

Explain two ways to evulate 32(16-6)

Answer 1

There are two ways to evaluate the expression:

32(16 - 6)

WAY 1

Evaluate the expression in the bracket first, then multiply the result by the content outside the bracket.

32(10)

= 320

WAY 2

Remove the bracket straight, without simplifying the content inside the bracket by multiplying 32 by each element in the bracket.

32*16 - 32*6

= 512 - 192

= 320

And those are the two ways.
