Math Problem Statement

(5)(3 - 1) + 4

Solution

Let's solve the given expression step by step.

The expression is:

(5)(31)+4(5)(3 - 1) + 4

Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses

31=23 - 1 = 2

Now the expression becomes: (5)(2)+4(5)(2) + 4

Step 2: Multiply

5×2=105 \times 2 = 10

Now the expression is: 10+410 + 4

Step 3: Add

10+4=1410 + 4 = 14

Final Answer: A) 14

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What happens if you change the operation inside the parentheses to subtraction?
  2. How would the expression change if you added a division?
  3. What if the value outside the parentheses was negative, e.g., (5)(-5)?
  4. Can this type of problem be extended to involve fractions?
  5. How would the answer change if the value inside the parentheses was squared?

Tip: Always remember to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
