Published on May 31, 2026
Pre-Algebra
Learn to solve multi-step arithmetic problems by applying the GEMDAS (Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction) order of operations correctly. Follow the step-by-step solutions.
Question
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING USING GEMDAS: 1. 6 + 3 × (3 + 1) 2. 8 + 3 × (2 + 2) 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, we use the GEMDAS rule, which stands for:
Grouping symbols (Parentheses, Brackets), Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
Grouping symbols (Parentheses, Brackets), Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
