Question

1. What is the difference between these two expressions
(5+3)*3
(5+3)*9

Answer 1

The difference is one number is larger than the other.

Explanation:

we are doing BOMDAS

so (5+3)*3

we start with the bracket first since we are dealing with BOMDAS

(5+3)*3 = 8*3

then we multiply the 8*3 which equals to 24

(5+3)*9

we start with the bracket first (5+3) equals to 8 and then we multiply the 8 by the 9 and the answer is 72

(5+3)*9

(5+3)= 8*9

= 72

between 24 and 72 the difference is 72 is larger
