Question

0.5 State which is greater:
(a) (5-7) * 12 or 5-7 x 12​

(5-7)*12
Follow the rules of bodmas...
you’ll get -24 for the first option and -79 for the second option so -24 is greater
BODMAS full form: Bracket Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
So you solve these kind of question according to the order of calculations under bodmas

Answer 2

Answer:

(5-7)*12 = (-2) *12 =  hence the result whatever it is , is positive bcoz of even exponent

while,

(5-7) x12 = (-2) x 12  here , after multiplication we get a negative number

hence (5-7)*12 is greater than (5-7) x 12

hope it helps;)
