9. Let’s Try Some Problems!

10. PEMDAS 3+2 3 - (9+1) 3+2 3 - 10 3+8-10 11-10 1

11. PEMDAS 3 (9+1) + 6 2 3(10)+6 2 3(10)+36 30+36 66

12. PEMDAS 4+5  (6-2) 4+5  4 4+20 24

13. PEMDAS 4+ 10  2 3 -16 4+10  8 -16 4+ 80 -16 84-16 68

14. PEMDAS 21 + 10 2  10 21+100  10 21 + 10 31

15. PEMDAS 10+7 2 -2  5 10+49–2  5 10+49- 10 59 - 10 49

16. PEMDAS 64  (9  3-19) 64  (27 –19) 64  8 8

17. Example #1 14 ÷ 7 2 - 3 = 2 2 - 3 (Divide) = 4 - 3 (Multiply.) = 1(Subtract.)

18. Example #2 3(3 + 7) 2 ÷ 5 = 3(10) 2 ÷ 5(parentheses) = 3(100) ÷ 5(exponents) = 300 ÷ 5(multiplication) = 60(division)

19. Example #3 20 - 3 6 + 10 2 + (6 + 1) 4 = 20 - 3 6 + 10 2 + (7) 4(parentheses) = 20 - 3 6 + 100 + (7) 4(exponents) = 20 - 18 + 100 + (7) 4 (Multiply l/r.) = 20 - 18 + 100 + 28 (Multiply l/r.) = 2 + 100 + 28 (Subtract l/r.) = 102 + 28 (Add l/r.) = 130(Add.)

20. Which of the following represents 11 2 + 18 - 3 3 · 5 in simplified form? 1.-3,236 2.4 3.107 4.16,996

21. Simplify 16 - 2(10 - 3) Answ er Now 1.2 2.-7 3.12 4.98

22. Simplify 24 – 6 · 4 ÷ 2 Answ er Now 1.72 2.36 3.12 4.0

23. 1. substitute the given numbers for each variable. 2. use order of operations to solve. Evaluating a Variable Expression To evaluate a variable expression:

24. Example # 4 n + (13 - n)  5 for n = 8 = 8 + (13 - 8)  5 (Substitute.) = 8 + 5  5 (parentheses) = 8 + 1 (Divide l/r.) = 9 (Add l/r.)

25. Example # 5 8y - 3x2 + 2n for x = 5, y = 2, n =3 = 8  2 - 3  52 + 2  3 (Substitute.) = 8  2 - 3  25 + 2  3 (exponents) = 16 - 3  25 + 2  3 (Multiply l/r.) = 16 - 75 + 2  3 (Multiply l/r.) = 16 - 75 + 6 (Multiply l/r.) = -59 + 6 (Subtract l/r.) = -53 (Add l/r.)

26. What is the value of -10 – 4x if x = -13? Answ er Now 1.-62 2.-42 3.42 4.52

27. What is the value of 5k 3 if k = -4? Answ er Now 1.-8000 2.-320 3.-60 4.320

28. What is the value of if n = -8, m = 4, and t = 2 ? Answ er Now 1.10 2.-10 3.-6 4.6
