Evaluate the expression 9-3(16+9) / 5²

Answer 1

Lets do PEMDAS to solve for our answer!

9 - 3 (16 + 9)

5²

STEP 1: Check to see if we have P- PARENTHESIS, and solve, and plug in the problem

(16 + 9) = 25

we know that 16 + 9 is 25 so we will plug 25 into the problem.

9 - 3 (25)

5²

STEP 2: Check to see if we have E- EXPONENT, and solve, and plug in the problem.

5² = 25

we know that 5² is 25 so we will plug 25 into the problem.

9 - 3 (25)

25

STEP 3: Check to see if we have M- Multiplication, and solve, and plug in the problem

3 (25) or 3 x (25) = 75

we know that 3 x 25 = 75 so we plug it into our problem.

9 - 75

25

we can combine the numerator of our problem to get one lump sum and plug in to find our answer

9 - 75 = -66

-66

25

Answer 2

9 - 3(16 + 9) / 5²

9 - 3(25) / 25

9 - 75 / 25

-66 / 25
