Question

Evaluate the following.
10-2-3+4x4

Answer 1

21

Explanation:

Did you mean "4 times 4?" or '4x^4?"

I will assume you meant the first interpretation.

Order of operations rules require that we do multiplication before addition and subtraction. Thus, multiplying 4 by 4, we get:

10 - 2 - 3 + 16

which simplifies to 21

Note: Please use " * " to indicate multiplication: 4*4 = 16, or 4·4 = 16.

Answer 2

Explanation:

10-2= 8 -3 = 5 +4 =9 *4 =36
