Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve the following expression
00:03 Always solve the parentheses first
00:17 Division by ten moves the decimal point one place to the left
00:22 We will use this formula in our exercise
00:26 This is the 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 will therefore start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses and calculate the result of the addition within them, then - we will first perform the division operation:

(85+5):10=90:10=9 (85+5):10= \\ 90:10= \\ 9

Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.
