Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This simple rule is the order of operations which states that multiplication precedes addition and subtraction, and division precedes all of them,

In the given example, a multiplication occurs between two sets of parentheses, thus we simplify the expressions within each pair of parentheses separately,

We start with simplifying the expression within the parentheses on the left, this is done in accordance with the order of operations mentioned above, meaning that multiplication comes before subtraction, we perform the multiplications in this expression first and then proceed with the subtraction operations within it, in reverse we simplify the expression within the parentheses on the right and perform the subtraction operation within them:

What remains for us is to perform the last multiplication that was deferred, it is the multiplication that occurred between the expressions within the parentheses in the original expression, we perform it while remembering that multiplying any number by 0 will result in 0:

Therefore, the correct answer is answer d.

Exercise #5

204:5(3+071)= 20\cdot4:5\cdot(3+0\cdot7-1)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's simplify this expression while following the order of operations which states that exponents come before multiplication and division, which come before addition and subtraction, and that parentheses come before all of them,

We'll start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses, since multiplication comes before addition and subtraction we'll first perform the multiplication in this expression, while remembering that multiplying any number by 0 will always yield the result 0, then we'll perform the addition and subtraction operations within the parentheses:

204:5(3+071)=204:5(3+01)=204:52 20\cdot4:5\cdot(3+0\cdot7-1)= \\ 20\cdot4:5\cdot(3+0-1)= \\ 20\cdot4:5\cdot2

We'll continue and simplify the expression obtained in the last step, since between multiplication and division operations there is no precedence for one operation over the other according to the aforementioned order of operations, we'll perform the multiplication and division operations etc. one after another from left to right (which is the natural order of operations):

204:52=80:52=162=32 20\cdot4:5\cdot2 =\\ 80:5\cdot2 =\\ 16\cdot2 =\\ 32

Let's summarize the steps of simplifying the given expression, we got that:

204:5(3+071)=204:52=162=32 20\cdot4:5\cdot(3+0\cdot7-1)= \\ 20\cdot4:5\cdot2 =\\ 16\cdot2 =\\ 32

Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.

Exercise #6

Complete the following exercise:

[(3245)(4+16)5]:(5)= \lbrack(3^2-4-5)\cdot(4+\sqrt{16})-5 \rbrack:(-5)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This simple example demonstrates the order of operations, which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication and division, which come before addition and subtraction, and that operations within parentheses come first,

In the given example, the operation of division between parentheses (the denominators) by a number (which is also in parentheses but only for clarification purposes), thus according to the order of operations mentioned we start with the parentheses that contain the denominators first, this parentheses that contain the denominators includes multiplication between two numbers which are also in parentheses, therefore according to the order of operations mentioned, we start with the numbers inside them, paying attention that each of these numbers, including the ones in strength, and therefore assuming that exponentiation precedes multiplication and division we consider their numerical values only in the first step and only then do we perform the operations of multiplication and division on these numbers:

[(3245)(4+16)5]:(5)=[(945)(4+4)5]:(5)=[085]:(5) \lbrack(3^2-4-5)\cdot(4+\sqrt{16})-5 \rbrack:(-5)=\\ \lbrack(9-4-5)\cdot(4+4)-5 \rbrack:(-5)=\\ \lbrack0\cdot8-5 \rbrack:(-5)\\ Continuing with the simple division in parentheses ,and according to the order of operations mentioned, we proceed from the multiplication calculation and remember that the multiplication of the number 0 by any number will yield the result 0, in the first step the operation of subtraction is performed and finally the operation of division is initiated on the number in parentheses:

[085]:(5)=[05]:(5)=5:(5)=1 \lbrack0\cdot8-5 \rbrack:(-5)= \\ \lbrack0-5 \rbrack:(-5)= \\ -5 :(-5)=\\ 1 Therefore, the correct answer is answer c.

Exercise #7

(5+43)2:(5×210×1)= (5+4-3)^2:(5\times2-10\times1)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This simple rule is the order of operations which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication and division, which precede addition and subtraction, and that operations enclosed in parentheses precede all others,

In the given expression, the establishment of division between two sets of parentheses, note that the parentheses on the left indicate strength, therefore, in accordance to the order of operations mentioned above, we start simplifying the expression within those parentheses, and as we proceed, we obtain the result derived from simplifying the expression within those parentheses with given strength, and in the final step, we divide the result obtained from the simplification of the expression within the parentheses on the right,

We proceed similarly with the simplification of the expression within the parentheses on the left, where we perform the operations of multiplication and division, in strength, in contrast, we simplify the expression within the parentheses on the right, which, according to the order of operations mentioned above, means multiplication precedes division, hence we first perform the operations of multiplication within those parentheses and then proceed with the operation of division:

(5+43)2:(52101)=(2)2:(1010)=4:0 (5+4-3)^2:(5\cdot2-10\cdot1)= \\ (-2)^2:(10-10)= \\ 4:0\\ We conclude that the sequence of operations within the expression that is within the parentheses on the left yields a smooth result, this result we leave within the parentheses, these we raised in the next step in strength, this means we remember that every number (positive or negative) in dual strength gives a positive result,

As we proceed, note that in the last expression we received from establishing division by the number 0, this operation is known as an undefined mathematical operation (and this is the simple reason why a number should never be divided by 0 parts) therefore, the given expression yields a value that is not defined, commonly denoted as "undefined group" and use the symbol :

{} \{\empty\} In summary:

4:0={} 4:0=\\ \{\empty\} Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.

Exercise #8

[(4+3):7+2:22]:5= \lbrack(4+3):7+2:2-2\rbrack:5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Simplifying this expression emphasizes the order of operations, which states that multiplication precedes addition and subtraction, and that division precedes all of them,

In the given expression, the establishment of division operations between the parentheses (the outermost) to a number, therefore according to the order of operations as mentioned, is handled by simplifying the expression in these parentheses, this expression includes division operations that begin on the expression within the parentheses (the innermost), therefore according to the order of operations as mentioned is handled by simplifying the expression in these parentheses and performing the subtraction operations in it, there is no hindrance to calculate the outcome of the division operations in the expression in the outermost parentheses, but for the sake of good order this is done afterwards:

[(4+3):7+2:22]:5=[7:7+2:22]:5 \lbrack(4+3):7+2:2-2\rbrack:5= \\ \lbrack7:7+2:2-2\rbrack:5 Continuing and simplifying the expression in the parentheses we noted, since division precedes addition and subtraction, start with the division operations in the expression and only then calculate the outcome of the addition and subtraction, ultimately perform the division operations on this expression in the parentheses:

[7:7+2:22]:5[1+12]:5=0:5=0 \lbrack7:7+2:2-2\rbrack:5 \\ \lbrack1+1-2\rbrack:5=\\ 0:5=\\0 In the last stage we mentioned that multiplying a number by 0 gives the result 0,

Therefore, this simplifying expression is short so there is no need to elaborate,

And the correct answer here is answer A.

Exercise #9

[(813×3):4+5×5]= \lbrack(\sqrt{81}-3\times3):4+5\times5\rbrack=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of order of arithmetic operations, parentheses are resolved first.

We start by solving the inner parentheses, first we will solve the root using the formula:

a=a2=a \sqrt{a}=\sqrt{a^2}=a

81=92=9 \sqrt{81}=\sqrt{9^2}=9

The exercise obtained within parentheses is:

(93×3) (9-3\times3)

First we solve the multiplication exercise and then we subtract:

(99)=0 (9-9)=0

After solving the inner parentheses, the resulting exercise is:

0:4+5×5 0:4+5\times5

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we first solve the exercises of multiplication and division, and then subtraction.

We place the two exercises within parentheses to avoid confusion:

(0:4)+(5×5)=0+25=25 (0:4)+(5\times5)=0+25=25
