Question

How do you simplify `4 div 2+3-(7+10)times4` using PEMDAS?

Answer 1

-63

Explanation:

As PEDMAS states, you do whatever is inside the parentheses first.
In this equation we have `(7+10)` which equals to `17`.
Next step, we have exponents, although there are none so we can skip that step.
Next is division. Currently our equation is `4÷2+3-17*4`. The one division is with `4 ÷2`, which is 2.
Next is multiplication. With `2 + 3 - 17 *4`, you multiply `-17*4`, which gives you `-68`.
Lastly, addition. `2+3-68` is our equation as of right now and if you solve it, it gives you -63.
