Find the best answer: 8 / (7-3) X(4+6)

Question

This is an order of operations question that involved all of the four basic order of operation questions.

Answer 1

Here are the steps as the problem is written:

1. Work inside all grouping symbols so: (7-3) would be replace with 4 and ( 6+4) would be replaced with 10
2. Now you have: 8/4 which is 2 time 10X
3. So 20X= 20 and divide each side by 20 and X=1.

Answer 2

8 / (7-3) X(4+6) = 20

Steps:

1) First work with the operations inside the ( ).

(7-3) = 4 and (4+6) =10

2) Rewrite the problem with these new answers

8 / 4 x 10

3) Solve in order from left to right

8 / 4 =2 and then 2 x 10 = 20
