Math Problem Statement

In the expression 4-8(×4) you shoud

Solution

In the expression 4 - 8(×4), the operation should follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
  4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Here's the breakdown:

  • First, solve the multiplication: 8×4=328 \times 4 = 32.
  • Then subtract: 432=284 - 32 = -28.

So, the correct result of the expression is -28.

  1. What happens if parentheses contain more complex expressions?
  2. How do exponents affect the order of operations?
  3. Can you solve expressions involving division and multiplication first?
  4. What if there are multiple addition and subtraction steps?
  5. How does PEMDAS apply in expressions with fractions?

Tip: Always handle operations inside parentheses first to avoid mistakes when applying the order of operations.
