Question

Can someone help me solve this, no need to show work just the answer

Answer 1

10

Skills needed: Order of Operations

Explanation:

1) First, we need to understand Order of operations.

It is known as PEMDAS

Parentheses First

Exponents Second

Multiplication Division Third

Addition Subtraction Fourth

(For: Multiplication and Division --> The order is whatever comes first when going Left to Right -- This same rule applies for Addition and Subtraction)

2) First, we need to solve the stuff inside the parentheses. Let's solve the fraction first since fraction = division.

--->
`(12)/(2)=12/2=6`

---> New equation:
`5*4-(4+6)`

3) Let's do the addition now:

`5*4-10`

4) Next, let's do the multiplication:

`20-10`

5) Next, we just subtract:
`20-10=10`

10 is the answer

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

I believe its 10, you can solve it in two ways but they still wind up as such.

5 * 4 - ( 4 + 12/2)

5 * 4 - ( 4 + 6)

5 * 4 - 4 - 6

20 - 10

10
