Learn how to solve math problems using the GEMDAS order of operations (Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) with step-by-step solutions.
Question
SOLVE THE FOLLOWING USING GEMDAS: 1. 6 + 3 × (3 + 1) 2. 8 + 3 × (2 + 2) 3. 12 + 2 × (6 + 1) 4. 20 − 4 × (3 + 2) 5. 16 + 12 ÷ (4 − 1) 6. 12 + 2 × (3 + 1) 2 7. 25 − 3 × (2 + 3) 2 8. 36 ÷ (3 × 2) + 4 9. 40 − 2 × (2 + 2) 2 10.10 + [2 × (5 − 3) 2 ]
Answer
To solve these problems using GEMDAS, we follow this order of operations:
- Grouping symbols (Parentheses
(), Brackets[], Braces{}) - Exponents (Powers and Roots)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Note: For problems 6, 7, 9, and 10, the number “2” placed below the expression is interpreted as an exponent (
