Exercise #1

6+644= 6+\sqrt{64}-4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 6+644= 6+\sqrt{64}-4= , we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):


  • P: Parentheses (or Brackets)
  • E: Exponents (or Orders, i.e., powers and roots, etc.)
  • MD: Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)
  • AS: Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

In this expression, we first need to evaluate the square root since it falls under the exponent category:


64=8 \sqrt{64} = 8


Next, we substitute the computed value back into the expression:


6+84 6+8-4


We then perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:


6+8=14 6+8 = 14


144=10 14-4 = 10


Thus, the final answer is:


10 10

Exercise #18

182(100+9)= 18^2-(100+\sqrt{9})=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given expression is 182(100+9) 18^2-(100+\sqrt{9})

We need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which stands for:

  • Parentheses

  • Exponents (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.)

  • MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

  • AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

Let's solve step by step:

Step 1: Evaluate the exponent and the square root in the expression:

  • 182=324 18^2 = 324

  • 9=3 \sqrt{9} = 3

So, the expression becomes 324(100+3) 324 - (100 + 3)

Step 2: Simplify the parentheses:

  • 100+3=103 100+3=103

So, the expression becomes 324103 324 - 103

Step 3: Subtract:

  • 324103=221 324-103=221

Therefore, the value of the expression 182(100+9) 18^2-(100+\sqrt{9}) is 221.

Exercise #19

2×(36+9)= 2\times(\sqrt{36}+9)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve this problem step by step using the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction):

1. First, let's focus on what's inside the parentheses: 36+9 \sqrt{36}+9

2. We need to evaluate the square root first:

  • 36=6 \sqrt{36} = 6 (because 6×6=36 6 \times 6 = 36 )

3. Now our expression looks like this: 2×(6+9) 2\times(6+9)

4. Next, we perform the addition inside the parentheses:

  • 6+9=15 6 + 9 = 15

5. Our expression is now: 2×15 2\times15

6. Finally, we perform the multiplication:

  • 2×15=30 2 \times 15 = 30

Therefore, 2×(36+9)=30 2\times(\sqrt{36}+9) = 30

This matches the provided correct answer of 30.

Exercise #20

(203×22)2= (20-3\times2^2)^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We begin by solving the expression inside the parentheses (203×22)2(20-3\times2^2)^2. According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we first handle any calculations inside parentheses and deal with exponents before performing multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction.


  • Step 1: Solve the exponent inside the parentheses.

  • We have 222^2, which equals 44. Thus, the expression now is:


    (203×4)2(20-3\times4)^2


    • Step 2: Perform the multiplication inside the parentheses.

    • Multiply 33 by 44 to get 1212. The expression now simplifies to:


      (2012)2(20-12)^2


      • Step 3: Perform the subtraction inside the parentheses.

      • Subtract 1212 from 2020. We get 88. The expression now simplifies to:


        (8)2(8)^2


        • Step 4: Finally, solve the remaining exponent.

        • 828^2 equals 6464.


        Thus, (203×22)2(20-3\times2^2)^2 equals 6464.
