[00:00:00]What is the value of the expression 7 plus open parentheses 60 divided by 5 * 6 close parentheses and multiplied by 2 ^ 2?

[00:00:12]Which option do you think is the correct answer to this question?

[00:00:16]This expression is so tricky that 98% of people get the wrong answer.

[00:00:22]Let's go step-by-step and solve it together.

[00:00:25]To solve this question, many people first go straight to the parentheses and are solving the division between 60 and 5.

[00:00:33]So, they rewrite this equation as 7 plus 12 * 6 inside the parentheses, then multiplied by 2 ^ 2.

[00:00:42]And in the next step, they perform the multiplication between 12 and 6 and simplify this equation to 7 plus 72 multiplied by 2 ^ 2.

[00:00:53]Then, they move on to the addition between 7 and 72 and they rewrite this equation as 79 multiplied by 2 ^ 2.

[00:01:02]And in the final step, they go to the exponent and replace this equation with 79 multiplied by 4, which finally gives them the answer 316.

[00:01:12]And immediately, they conclude that the correct answer to this question is option D.

[00:01:19]However, this answer is absolutely wrong.

[00:01:24]Also, some other people when solving this question, again go straight to the parentheses, but this time, they start with the multiplication between 5 and 6 because they believe multiplication has a higher priority than division.

[00:01:39]So, they rewrite this equation as 7 plus 60 divided by 30 inside the parentheses, then multiplied by 2 ^ 2.

[00:01:49]And in the next step, they perform the division between 60 and 30 and simplify this equation to 7 plus 2 * 2 ^ 2.

[00:01:59]Next, they go to the exponent and simplify it to 7 + 2 * 4.

[00:02:06]In the final step, they perform the multiplication between 2 and 4 because they believe multiplication has priority over addition.

[00:02:16]So, they derive this equation as 7 + 8, which eventually gives them the answer 15.

[00:02:22]Then, they quickly say that option B is the correct answer to this question.

[00:02:29]However, that's definitely wrong.

[00:02:33]All right. Now, let me explain the steps of how to solve this equation properly.

[00:02:38]To solve this question, we need to follow the order of operations, which is PEMDAS.

[00:02:43]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.

[00:02:57]We should perform these operations exactly in order from top to bottom according to the PEMDAS rule.

[00:03:04]Okay. As you can see in the image, in this equation, first, we have an addition sign.

[00:03:10]Then, parentheses.

[00:03:11]After that, we have a multiplication sign, and finally, an exponent.

[00:03:17]Okay. We must start with the parentheses first because parentheses have the highest priority compared to all other operations.

[00:03:26]And inside the parentheses, first, we have a division sign, and then a multiplication sign.

[00:03:32]It's very important to remember that multiplication and division are at the same level of precedence.

[00:03:38]In this situation, we must start from the left and move toward the right performing these two operations in order.

[00:03:46]So, we begin with the division between 60 and 5. And this equation simplifies to 7 + 12 multiplied by 6 inside the parentheses, then multiplied by 2 ^ 2.

[00:04:00]In the next step, we perform the multiplication between 12 and 6, and I write this equation as 7 + 72 multiplied by 2 ^ 2.

[00:04:10]In the following step, it's time to handle the exponent, because according to the PEMDAS rule, after parentheses, exponent has the highest priority than the other operation.

[00:04:21]So, this equation becomes 7 + 72 multiplied by 4.

[00:04:27]In the final step, we perform the multiplication between 72 and 4, and simplify this equation to 7 + 288, which finally gives us the answer 295.

[00:04:40]Therefore, option C is the correct answer to this question.
