Answer:
If so, order of operation is coming into play
PEMDAS
P is the parenthesis and E is the exponent..... looks we got a 2 for 1 special solve.
(1/2)4
First
The exponent is 4 which means write
1/2
4 times
1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1
2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16
So our fraction is 1/16
10 - 1/16 - 48
now we have M D which is multiplication and division what is
1/16 - 48
now we just have 10 - 3
We don't have A ( addition ) so skip it
We do have S ( subtraction )
10 - 3 = 7.
