I have this homework problem and I don't understand how these are different besides the peranthese:

50+24/6x2

50+24/(6x2)

I got the same answer for both of them and the point of my homework is to get different answers for both of them.

Can someone please explain and walk me through the difference?

Thank You

  1. on the first you divide 24/6 and then multiply by 2. the second one you multiply 6 x 2 first(pemdas- parentheses first!)

    1. 50 + 24/6 x 2

    50 + 4 x 2

    50 + 8

    58

    2. 50 + 24/(6x2)

    50 + 24/12

    50 + 2

    52

    hope i make sense!


  2. According to pemdas, you do multiplication and division in the order you come to it.  So, in the first one you would do 24/6 and get 4, and multiply it by 2 and get 8.

    Also according to pemdas, you do parenthesis first, so on the second one you do 6x2 first and get 12, and then do 24/12 and get 2.

    The final answers would be 58 and 52.

  3. it shouldnt  be da same answer coss

    wit pemdas

    24/6

    = 50+4*2

    =50+8

    =58

    answer is 58

    without pemdas

    50+24

    =74/(6*2)

    =74/12

    =6

  4. in order of operations you do in this importance

    parenthesis

    exponent

    multiply/ divide

    add/ subtract

    for the last 2 when they are together you do it from left to right you dont neccesarily have to do multiplication before division

    50 + 24 / 6 x 2

    50 + 4 x 2

    50 + 8

    58

    50 + 24 / (6x2)

    50 + 24 / 12

    50 + 2

    52

  5. first one:

    50+  !!!!24/6!!!! x 2

    50+ 4x2

    50+ 8

    58

    2nd:

    50+ !!!24/ (12)!!!!

    50+ 2

    52
