Examples with solutions for Parentheses in advanced Order of Operations: Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

Exercise #1

(7+2)×(3+8)= (7+2)\times(3+8)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Simplify this expression paying attention to the order of operations. Whereby exponentiation precedes multiplication, division precedes addition and subtraction and that parentheses precede all of the above.

Therefore, let's first start by simplifying the expressions within the parentheses. After which we perform the multiplication between them:

(7+2)(3+8)=911=99 (7+2)\cdot(3+8)= \\ 9\cdot11=\\ 99 Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Answer

99

Exercise #2

96:(4×3)1= 9-6:(4\times3)-1=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We simplify this expression paying attention to the order of operations which states that exponentiation comes before multiplication and division, and before addition and subtraction, and that parentheses precede all of them.

Therefore, we start by performing the multiplication within parentheses, then we carry out the division operation, and we finish by performing the subtraction operation:

96:(43)1=96:121=90.51=7.5 9-6:(4\cdot3)-1= \\ 9-6:12-1= \\ 9-0.5-1= \\ 7.5

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

7.5

Exercise #3

12:3(1+1)= 12:3(1+1)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we perform the operation inside the parentheses:

12:3(2) 12:3(2)

When there is no mathematical operation between parentheses and a number, we assume it is a multiplication.

Therefore, we can also write the exercise like this:

12:3×2 12:3\times2

Here we solve from left to right:

12:3×2=4×2=8 12:3\times2=4\times2=8

Answer

8

Exercise #4

20(1+9:9)= 20-(1+9:9)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we solve the exercise in the parentheses

(1+9:9)= (1+9:9)=

According to the order of operations, we first divide and then add:

1+1=2 1+1=2

Now we obtain the exercise:

202=18 20-2=18

Answer

18 18

Exercise #5

Solve the exercise:

3:4(71)+3= 3:4\cdot(7-1)+3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we solve the exercise within the parentheses:

3:46+3= 3:4\cdot6+3=

34×6+3= \frac{3}{4}\times6+3=

We multiply:

184+3= \frac{18}{4}+3=

412+3=712 4\frac{1}{2}+3=7\frac{1}{2}

Answer

712 7\frac{1}{2}

Exercise #6

(8:4:2)31= (8:4:2)-3-1=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses from left to right:

8:4=2 8:4=2

2:2=1 2:2=1

Now we get the exercise:

131= 1-3-1=

We solve the exercise from left to right:

13=2 1-3=-2

21=3 -2-1=-3

Answer

3-

Exercise #7

(3+20)×(12+4)= (3+20)\times(12+4)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Simplify this expression paying attention to the order of arithmetic operations. Exponentiation precedes multiplication whilst division precedes addition and subtraction. Parentheses precede all of the above.

Therefore, let's first start by simplifying the expressions within the parentheses. Then we can proceed to perform the multiplication between them:

(3+20)(12+4)=2316=368 (3+20)\cdot(12+4)=\\ 23\cdot16=\\ 368 Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Answer

368

Exercise #8

(12+2)×(3+5)= (12+2)\times(3+5)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Simplify this expression by paying attention to the order of arithmetic operations which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication, division precedes addition and subtraction and that parentheses precede all of the above.

Thus, let's begin by simplifying the expressions within the parentheses, and following this, the multiplication between them.

(12+2)(3+5)=148=112 (12+2)\cdot(3+5)= \\ 14\cdot8=\\ 112 Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

112

Exercise #9

19×(204×5)= 19\times(20-4\times5)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we solve the exercise in the parentheses

(204×5)= (20-4\times5)=

According to the order of operations, we first multiply and then subtract:

2020=0 20-20=0

Now we obtain the exercise:

19×0=0 19\times0=0

Exercise #10

(40+70+357)×9= (40+70+35-7)\times9=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We simplify this expression by observing the order of arithmetic operations which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication, division precedes addition and subtraction, and that parentheses precede everything else.

Therefore, we first start by simplifying the expression within the parentheses. We then multiply the result of the expression within the parentheses by the term that multiplies it:

(40+70+357)9=1389=1242 (40+70+35-7)\cdot9= \\ 138\cdot9=\\ 1242 Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

First, we solve the exercise within the innermost parentheses:

(266:3)= (26-6:3)=

According to the order of operations, we first divide and then subtract:

262=24 26-2=24

Now we obtain the exercise:

225:(24×5)= 225:(24\times5)=

We solve the multiplication exercise and then divide:

225:120=1.875 225:120=1.875

Answer
