Question

Q4. Simplify the following:
c. 9 + { 6 + 5 × 3 – ( 9 + 3- 8 × 2)}
d. 4.8 +[6 - 3 - { 5+ (2 – 8 ÷ 2)}]

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: {We will be using the BODMAS rule}

BODMAS = Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.

(C)  9 + { 6 + 5 × 3 – ( 9 + 3- 8 × 2)}

 =   9 + { 6 + 5 × 3 – ( -4)}

 =   9 + { 6 + 5 × 3 – -4}

 =   9 + { 25}

 =   9 + 25

Answer =   34

(d) 4.8 +[6 - 3 - { 5+ (2 – 8 ÷ 2)}]

  = 4.8 +[6 - 3 - { 5+ (-2)}]

  = 4.8 +[6 - 3 - { 5+ -2}]

  = 4.8 +[6 - 3 - 3]

  = 4.8 + 0

   Answer = 4.8
