Question

How do you use order of operations: `17+4-28div4`?

Answer 1

`14`

Explanation:

The most important starting point is to identify the number of different terms. Each term simplifies to a single answer which can be added or subtracted in the last step.

`" "color(green)(17)" "+" "color(blue)(4)" "-" "color(red)(28div4)" "`has `3` terms

`" "color(green)(17)" "+" "color(blue)(4)" "-" "color(red)(7)`

`=21-7`

`=14`
