Question

What is the answer to this problem ?

Answer 1

220

Explanation:

PEMDAS

do the stuff inside the parentheses first

8(12+15)+4 = 8(27) + 4 since 12 + 15 =27

8(27) + 4 = 216+4 = 220

or you could distribute the 8 within the parentheses using distributive property

8(12+15) + 4 = 8*12 + 8*15 + 4 = 96 + 120 + 4 = 220

both ways will get you the same answer

Answer 2

220

add whats in parentheses then multiply by 8 and add the 4
