Math Problem Statement
(5 × 6 − 2) ÷ 4
Solution
The expression you have provided is:
Let's simplify it step by step, following the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).
-
First, handle the multiplication and subtraction inside the parentheses:
-
Now divide by 4:
So, the simplified result is:
Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are five related questions to expand on this:
- How would you simplify a similar expression with different operations inside the parentheses?
- Can you explain the order of operations (PEMDAS) and why we follow it?
- What would change if there was an addition instead of subtraction inside the parentheses?
- How does division affect the result compared to multiplication?
- How would you solve this problem if the parentheses were in a different position?
Tip: Always solve the operations inside parentheses first before moving on to other operations!
