Question

How do you use order of operation to simplify 4−246⋅2+(−5)2?

Answer 1

Answer:

-498

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember PEMDAS?  Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

So let's rewrite the question,

4-(246*2)+(-5*2)

246*2= 492

4-492+(-5*2)

-5*2=-10

4-492+(-10)

-488+-10

-498

And there's your answer, -498
