Problem 11
Question
For the following problems, use the order of operations to find each value. $$18-7(8-3)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Answer: -17
1Step 1: Solve inside the parentheses
According to the order of operations, we need to solve the expression inside the parentheses first: \((8-3)\)
$$18-7(8-3)=18-7(5)$$
2Step 2: Perform multiplication
Now, we perform the multiplication operation: \(7 \times 5\)
$$18-7(5)=18-35$$
3Step 3: Perform subtraction
Finally, perform the subtraction operation: \(18-35\)
$$18-35=-17$$
The simplified value of the given expression is -17.
