Question

Given the expression which operation would you perform first?

Answer 1

PEMDAS is the phrase so you should go in the order of Parentheses then exponents then multiplication then decision then addition and finally subtraction

Answer 2

Hey there!

Let's use PEMDAS:

P=Parentheses

E=Exponents

M=Multiplication

D=Division

A=Addition

S=Subtraction

So, let's use this formula in order to solve this problem.

We have:

3(4²)+4+16-9

According to PEMDAS, the first operation is

Parentheses (in this case, exponents)

Hence, the answer is

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Option\;B}}}`

Hope everything is clear.
