Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's evaluate the expression from the image:
The expression is:
Let's break it down step by step:
-
Solve inside the parentheses first:
-
Substitute back into the expression:
-
Simplify inside the parentheses:
-
Now multiply:
It appears you entered "42" as your answer, which is actually correct based on the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). The message indicating that your answer is incorrect might be due to a different requirement in how the system expects the answer or another technical issue.
If you still encounter issues, double-check if the system might be asking for a different format or expression.
Would you like more details or have any other questions? Here are some additional questions to consider:
- What would happen if the order of operations was not followed correctly?
- How does the PEMDAS/BODMAS rule influence complex expressions?
- Can you identify when parentheses are necessary in an expression?
- How would adding a negative number inside the parentheses change the result?
- What would the outcome be if you multiplied by a fraction instead of 2?
Tip: Always ensure that you perform operations inside parentheses first before applying multiplication or addition outside the parentheses.
