Question

Travis has the following problem for homework:

82 - 16 x 4 + 18+ [(36/6) - 2]
His neighbor, Ted, says "just solve it working left to
right." Ted gets an answer of 51.
What is the correct answer? (Hint: Ted doesn't know
PEMDAS).​

Answer 1

The correct answer is -4

Explanation:

First you have to solve what is in the parenthesis. So do 36/6 which is 6 and then subtract 2 to get 4. Then you have to do the multiplication so 16 x 4 and you get 64. then you can go left to right. 82-64+18+4 and when you do that you get -4
