Let's remember the meaning of GEMDAS. This is:

G: Grouping symbols.

E: Exponents.

M: Multiplication.

D: Division.

A: Addition.

S: Subtraction.

As you can see, it is an order of operations that tells you the order in which you must solve a mathematical expression.

For this case, you have the following expression:


2.68\mleft(20\mright)+4+3\mleft(-5\mright)

You can simplify applying with GEMDAS:

1. You don't have numbers into grouping symbols, so you must solve the Multiplication:


=2.68\mleft(20\mright)+4+3\mleft(-5\mright)=53.6+4-15

2. You don't have to solve a division, so you must Add the numbers. Then, the answer is:


=42.6
