00:23 Let's see if the equation is correct.
00:27 First, let's calculate the left side.
00:40 We'll break it down by calculating the powers.
00:55 For example, thirty-six is six to the power of two.
01:01 Remember, one to any power is still one.
01:06 And four is two to the power of two.
01:10 Always tackle what's inside the parentheses first.
01:14 When you square and then square root a number, they cancel each other.
01:19 We're going to use this rule in our exercise.
01:31 Turn the division into a fraction.
01:39 Then, divide fifteen by five.
01:42 That's the left side done. Now let's check out the right side.
01:54 Again, break it down and calculate the powers.
02:13 Don't forget, solve the parentheses first.
02:24 And that's how we solve this problem!

Step-by-step solution

In order to determine if the given equation is correct, we will simplify each of the expressions in its sides separately,

This will be done 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 these,

A. Let's start with the expression on the left side of the given equation:

23(6273):(361)+4 2^3\cdot(6^2-7\cdot3):(\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{1})+\sqrt{4} We'll start by simplifying the expressions inside the parentheses, this will be done by calculating the numerical values of the terms with exponents (while remembering the definition of a root as an exponent), simultaneously we'll calculate the numerical value of the root in the second term from the left and the numerical value of the term with the exponent, which is the first multiplier from the left in the leftmost expression:

23(6273):(361)+4=8(3621):(61)+2 2^3\cdot(6^2-7\cdot3):(\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{1})+\sqrt{4} =\\ 8\cdot(36-21):(6-1)+2 Let's continue and perform the subtraction operations in the parentheses:

8(3621):(61)+2=815:5+2 8\cdot(36-21):(6-1)+2 =\\ 8\cdot15:5+2 Note that there is no defined order of operations between multiplication and division, and there are no parentheses in this expression defining precedence for either operation, therefore we'll calculate the result of the leftmost term (with all its operations) as we compute step by step from left to right, then we'll perform the addition operation:

815:5+2=120:5+2=24+2=26 8\cdot15:5+2 =\\ 120:5+2 =\\ 24+2=\\26 We have completed simplifying the expression on the left side of the given equation, let's summarize the simplification steps:
23(6273):(361)+4=8(3621):(61)+2=815:5+2=24+2=26 2^3\cdot(6^2-7\cdot3):(\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{1})+\sqrt{4} =\\ 8\cdot(36-21):(6-1)+2 =\\ 8\cdot15:5+2 =\\ 24+2=\\26

B. Let's continue with simplifying the expression on the right side of the given equation:

(4352):(2+1)2 (4^3-5^2):(2+1)\cdot2

Similar to the previous part, we'll start by simplifying the expressions in parentheses, this will be done by calculating the numerical values of the terms with exponents, then we'll perform the addition and subtraction operations in the parentheses:

(4352):(2+1)2=(6425):(2+1)2=39:32 (4^3-5^2):(2+1)\cdot2 =\\ (64-25):(2+1)\cdot2=\\ 39:3\cdot2 Note (again) that there is no defined order of operations between multiplication and division, and there are no parentheses in this expression defining precedence for either operation, therefore we'll calculate the result of the expression we got (with all its operations) as we compute step by step from left to right:

39:32=132=26 39:3\cdot2 =\\ 13\cdot2=\\ 26

We have completed simplifying the expression on the right side of the given equation, let's summarize the simplification steps:

(4352):(2+1)2=39:32=26 (4^3-5^2):(2+1)\cdot2 =\\ 39:3\cdot2 =\\ 26 Let's now return to the given equation and substitute in its sides the results of simplifying the expressions detailed in A and B:

23(6273):(361)+4=(4352):(2+1)226=26 2^3\cdot(6^2-7\cdot3):(\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{1})+\sqrt{4}=(4^3-5^2):(2+1)\cdot2 \\ \downarrow\\ 26=26 We found that the equation is indeed true, meaning - we got a true statement,

Therefore the correct answer is answer A.

Final Answer

True

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Order Rule: Parentheses, then exponents/roots, then multiplication/division left to right
  • Technique: Calculate 23=8 2^3 = 8 and 62=36 6^2 = 36 before other operations
  • Check: Both sides must equal exactly 26 after complete simplification ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Ignoring order of operations when multiplying and dividing
    Don't calculate 8÷5×2 as 8÷10 = 0.8! Division and multiplication have equal priority, so work left to right. Always calculate 8×15÷5×2 as (8×15)÷5×2 = 120÷5×2 = 24×2 for correct results.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why do we work left to right for multiplication and division?

+

Multiplication and division have equal priority in order of operations. When operations have the same priority, we work from left to right to get consistent results every time.

Do I calculate all exponents first before anything else?

+

Calculate exponents and roots after parentheses but before multiplication and division. So 23=8 2^3 = 8 and 36=6 \sqrt{36} = 6 first, then proceed with other operations.

What if I get different answers for both sides?

+

If the left side doesn't equal the right side after simplifying, the equation is false. Double-check your calculations, especially the order of operations!

How do I handle square roots in these problems?

+

Square roots are exponents! 36=6 \sqrt{36} = 6 and 4=2 \sqrt{4} = 2 . Calculate them at the same time you calculate other exponents like 23 2^3 .

Should I use a calculator for this type of problem?

+

Try doing it by hand first to practice order of operations! Use a calculator to check your work, but make sure you understand each step of the process.
