Math Problem Statement

Solve

Solve the two expressions to crack the code: 10 - 2 + 8 and 4 + 3 x 5.

Solution

Let's solve the two expressions to unlock the box.

Expression A:

102+810 - 2 + 8 We solve this left to right:

  1. 102=810 - 2 = 8
  2. 8+8=168 + 8 = 16

So, the result of Expression A is 16.

Expression B:

4+3×54 + 3 \times 5 Here, we apply the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). Multiplication comes before addition:

  1. 3×5=153 \times 5 = 15
  2. 4+15=194 + 15 = 19

So, the result of Expression B is 19.

Code:

The final code would be 1619.

Would you like further details on how these expressions were solved or any other questions?

  1. What is the value of 124+612 - 4 + 6?
  2. Solve 5+6×25 + 6 \times 2.
  3. Simplify 9+32×49 + 3 - 2 \times 4.
  4. What is the result of 8×2+58 \times 2 + 5?
  5. Solve 7+83×67 + 8 - 3 \times 6.

Tip: Always remember to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) when solving expressions with multiple operations.
