Step-by-Step Solution
Let's solve the expression given in the problem: (16−22+6):22=
We need to follow the Order of Operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). This ensures that we perform calculations in the correct order:
16 simplifies to 4 because the square root of 16 is 4.
Next, evaluate 22, which equals 4.
Replace these results back into the expression: (4−4+6):4.
Now let's go step-by-step through the simplified expression:
