Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, so we'll start with them
00:12 Multiplication and division are at the same level, so we solve from left to right
00:15 Let's solve the marked part
00:22 Let's continue with the next multiplication
00:25 Any number multiplied by 1 remains the same number
00:32 Addition and subtraction are at the same level, so we solve from left to right
00:49 And that's the solution!

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations rules, we first insert the multiplication and division exercises into parentheses:

3+(4:2×1)9+4= 3+(4:2\times1)-9+4=

We'll solve the exercise from left to right:

4:2=2 4:2=2

2×1=2 2\times1=2

And we'll get the exercise:

3+29+4= 3+2-9+4=

Since the exercise only contains subtraction operations, we'll solve it from left to right:

3+2=5 3+2=5

59=4 5-9=-4

4+4=0 -4+4=0
