How do you solve this?

Question

im in algebra 1 for the 8th grade. i just got my first homework, so anyone know how to solve this, and can give me some tips? 14/[3(8-2)-11] helppppppp

Answer 1

To simplify the expression follow the order of operations: (PEMDAS)

1. Evaluate the expressions inside Brackets/Parenthesis (P).
2. Evaluate Powers/Exponents (E).
3. Multiply and/or Divide in order from left to right (MD).
4. Add and/or Subtract in order from left to right (AS).

Given expression is:14/[3(8 - 2) - 11].

Evaluate the expressions inside Brackets/Parenthesis (P).

= 14 / [(3(6) -11]

Next operation is multiplication.

= 14/ [18 -11]

Next operation is subtraction.

= 14/7

Next operation is division.

= 2.

Answer 2

14/(3(8-2)-11)

14/(3(6)-11)

14/(18-11)

14/(7)

and the answer is: 2
