i really need help i don't get it

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Find half the difference of 14 and 6, multiply by 6, then add 4.

Explanation:

By Hierarchy Rules of Operators, we must follow these steps:

(i) Subtract 6 from 14.

`(1)/(2)* 8* 6 + 4`

(ii) Multiply the result in (i) by
`(1)/(2)` and 6.

`24+4`

(ii) Add 4 to the result in (ii).

`28`

Hence, the correct answer is: Find half the difference of 14 and 6, multiply by 6, then add 4.
