if there is no brackets at all the expression is as follow 4+3*2 that means what would be the answer

Question

need answer with complete clarity

answer is 14 or 10

Answer 1

 

The Order of Operations, also called Precedence Rules, define how an expression is to be evaluated.

 

To help remember them, the acronym, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally -- and other acronyms -- have been created.  The words stand for:

       Parentheses  --  expressions inside "nested" parentheses evaluated before outer parentheses

       Exponentiation

       Multiplication and Division, left to right

       Addition and Subtraction, left to right

 

Notes:

   - these rules have changed over the last few decades

   - there is still some confusion about 1/3x

   - computer software does the order of operations several different ways

   - calculators do the order of operations several different ways

   - even the symbols may be different -- for example: *, **, ^, /, ÷

 

Follow this procedure:

  Scan from left to right for an operation at the highest precedence level.  If found, evaluate it (note: there may be other operations inside parenthesis).

  Scan from left to right for an operation at the next highest precedence level.  If found, evaluate it (note: M & D as well as A & S are at the same levels).

  Continue until there are no more operators

 

For 4+3*2:

  there are no parentheses   (note: if the expression is confusing, PLZ add them to clarify it)

  there is no exponentiation

  there is a multiplication; do it and replace the expression with the result of the multiplication

       4 + 6

  there is an addition; do it and replace the expression with the result of the addition

       10

  there are no more operators

 

Try this one (see whether you get 13):

    9 - 5 ÷ (8 - 3) x 2 + 6

 

 

Answer 2

So you need to follow the order of operations. In this example, that means you must multiply before you add.

 

so... 4+3*2

3*2=6 is the first step

then... 4+6 is 10

 

therefpr, answer is 10
