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

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

Calculate and indicate the answer:

(52)223 (5-2)^2-2^3

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Remember that according to the order of arithmetic operations, exponents precede multiplication and division, which precede addition and subtraction (and parentheses always precede everything).

So first calculate the values of the terms with exponents and then subtract the results:

(52)223=3223=98=1 (5-2)^2-2^3 =3^2-2^3=9-8=1 Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

1

Exercise #6

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 #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

Indicate whether the equality is true or not.

(52+3):22=52+(3:22) (5^2+3):2^2=5^2+(3:2^2)
