[00:00:00]If we have the expression 6 squared plus 16 divided by 2 multiplied by 4, then what is the correct answer of this question?

[00:00:10]Many people when solving this question first go to the exponent and instead of this expression they write 36 plus 16 divided by 2 multiplied by 4.

[00:00:25]In the next step, they go for the addition between 36 and 16 and write this expression as 52 divided by 2 multiplied by 4.

[00:00:37]In the final step, they go for the division between 52 and 2 and write this expression as 26 multiplied by 4 which finally gives them the answer 104.

[00:00:50]However, this answer is absolutely wrong.

[00:00:55]Also, some other people when solving this question first go to the exponent and instead of this expression they write 36 plus 16 divided by 2 multiplied by 4.

[00:01:10]In the next step, they go for the multiplication between 2 and 4 because they think multiplication has a higher priority than division. So, instead of this expression they write 36 plus 16 divided by 8.

[00:01:29]Then, they go for the division between 16 and 8 and instead of this expression they write 36 plus 2 which finally gives them the answer 38.

[00:01:42]However, this answer is actually incorrect. All right. Now, let me show you how to solve this expression properly.

[00:01:51]To solve this question, we must follow the PEMDAS rule. And in this rule, P stands for parentheses, E stands for exponent, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction.

[00:02:10]As you can see on the screen, in this expression first we have an exponent, then an addition sign, followed by a division, and finally a multiplication.

[00:02:21]According to the PEMDAS rule, first we go for the exponent because in this expression exponent has a higher priority than the other operations.

[00:02:31]So, instead of this expression we can write 36 plus 16 divided by 2 multiplied by 4.

[00:02:42]In the next step, we move on to the division and multiplication because these two operations have a higher priority than addition. However, it's very important to note that multiplication and division have the same level of priority and we must perform these two operations from left to right. So, first we go for the division between 16 and 2 and instead of this expression we can write 36 plus 8 multiplied by 4.

[00:03:14]In the final step, we go for the multiplication between 8 and 4 because multiplication has a higher priority than addition. So, we write this expression as 36 plus 32 which finally gives us the answer 68.

[00:03:32]All right. Now, let's solve another math question together.

[00:03:36]What is the value of the expression 13 minus 8 multiplied by open parentheses 5 minus 3 close parentheses?

[00:03:46]Many people when solving this question first go to the subtraction between 13 and 8 and instead of this expression they write 5 multiplied by open parentheses 5 minus 3 close parentheses.

[00:04:02]In the next step, they go to the expression inside the parentheses and instead of this expression they write 5 multiplied by 2 which finally gives them the answer 10.

[00:04:13]However, it's not the correct answer to this question.

[00:04:17]To solve this question, we must follow the order of operations step by step from top to bottom.

[00:04:23]As you can see on the screen, in this expression first we have a subtraction sign, then a multiplication sign, and finally parentheses.

[00:04:33]According to the PEMDAS rule, first we go for the parentheses because in the PEMDAS rule parentheses have the highest priority than the other operations.

[00:04:43]So, instead of this expression we can write 13 minus 8 multiplied by 2.

[00:04:51]In the next step, we move on to the multiplication between 8 and 2 because multiplication has a higher priority than subtraction.

[00:05:01]So, we write this expression as 13 minus 16 which finally gives us the answer negative 3.
