Question

What is the value of this expression?

27+4×(8−4)

Answer 1

43

Explanation:

First, you have to find the value inside the parentheses. That would be 8-4, which is 4.

Now, use the rule of Pedmas, or Bedmas, whatever you prefer. That is Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, addition, subtraction. So, now you have the equation:

27 + 4 x 4.

You would multiply before addition, as shown above, so you would get:

27 + 16

which would equal:

43.
