Question

Solve: What is 4^2-5x243​

Answer 1

-1199

Explanation:

To solve this, we must use PEMDAS

1. using this, we see that we must first solve anything having to do with exponents so:

4^2 = 16

2. Then we must solve any multiplication or division (whichever comes first). So in this case:

5 x 243 = 1215

3. We are now left with 16 - 1215 so we simply subtract

16 - 1215 = -1199
