Answer:
6 + 7 x 8
6 + 56 <----- Multiply the 7 and 8 first
62 <----- Then add the product, 56, and the 6
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Division, Addition and Subtraction. This is the order in which you need to solve equations with multiple operations in it, like your question.
Parenthesis - If there is a parenthesis in your equation you need to solve the equation inside it first.
Exponent - If there is a number with an exponent, you need to solve the number with an exponent.
- If the equation has both an exponent and parenthesis you answer from left to right, that is if the parenthesis is on the left of the equation while the exponent is on the right you answer the parenthesis first.
Multiplication and Division - If your equation requires multiplication or division, solve them first. You ALWAYS have to do the multiplication or division in an equation before moving on to addition or subtraction. Like the exponent and parenthesis, if you have both operations in one equation you solve from left to right.
Addition and Subtraction - If your equation requires addition or subtraction, add or subtract AFTER you multiply or divide. If there is both operations in one equation, again, solve from left to right.
