Exercise #2

Solve the following exercise:

423:(1+3)= 4\cdot2-3:(1+3)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we solve the exercise within the parentheses:

423:4= 4\cdot2-3:4=

We place multiplication and division exercises within parentheses:

(42)(3:4)= (4\cdot2)-(3:4)=

We solve the exercises within the parentheses:

834=714 8-\frac{3}{4}=7\frac{1}{4}

Answer

714 7\frac{1}{4}

Exercise #3

Solve the exercise:

3:(4+5)96= 3:(4+5)\cdot9-6=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We solve the exercise in parentheses:

3:996= 3:9\cdot9-6=

3996= \frac{3}{9}\cdot9-6=

We simplify and subtract:

36=3 3-6=-3

Answer

-3

Exercise #4

Solve the exercise:

2×3(4+5):2= 2\times3-(4+5):2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

4+5=9 4+5=9

Now we obtain the exercise:

2×39:2= 2\times3-9:2=

We place in parentheses the multiplication and division exercises:

(2×3)(9:2)= (2\times3)-(9:2)=

We solve the exercises within parentheses:

2×3=6 2\times3=6

9:2=4.5 9:2=4.5

Now we obtain the exercise:

64.5=1.5 6-4.5=1.5

Answer

1.5 1.5

Exercise #5

Solve the following equation:

400 ⁣:(5)[2(9361)]4= \frac{400\colon(-5)-\lbrack-2(93-61)\rbrack}{4}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We begin by addressing the numerator of the fraction.

First we solve the division exercise and the exercise within the parentheses:

400:(5)=80 400:(-5)=-80

(9361)=32 (93-61)=32

We obtain the following:

80(2×32)4= \frac{-80-(-2\times32)}{4}=

We then solve the parentheses in the numerator of the fraction:

80(64)4= \frac{-80-(-64)}{4}=

Let's remember that a negative times a negative equals a positive:

80+644= \frac{-80+64}{4}=

164=4 \frac{-16}{4}=-4

Answer

4 -4

Exercise #6

2×(3+12×8)= 2\times(3+\frac{1}{2}\times8)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations in arithmetic, parentheses take precedence over everything else.

Inside the parentheses, we will first solve the multiplication problem and then add.

To make solving the multiplication problem easier, we will convert 8 to a simple fraction:

2×(3+12×81)=2×(3+82)=2×(3+4) 2\times(3+\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{8}{1})=2\times(3+\frac{8}{2})=2\times(3+4)

Now we will solve the addition problem inside the parentheses and finally multiply:

2×7=14 2\times7=14

Answer

14 14

Exercise #7

225:[(266:3)×5]= 225:[(26-6:3)\times5]=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

1.875

Exercise #8
