Question

How do you evaluate `(8+ 4\times 5) \div 7+ 29`?

Answer 1

33

Explanation:

Remember your order of operations:

First work in the parenthesis. Since you have two operations inside the parenthesis you need to again follow the order of operations and do your multiplication before you add.

`4 xx 5 = 20`
`8+20 =28`

Now rewrite your equation replacing the 28 for the terms in the parenthesis.

`28 \div 7+ 29`

After parenthesis come multiplication and division. If you have both, you do them from left to right. In this case, we just need to do the division 28 divided by 7.

`28 \div 7 = 4`

Replace the 28 divided by 7 in your equations with 4, then do the last of the math by add 29.

`4 +29 =33`

DONE!!
