Chapter 1.1, Problem 22PPS

To determine

To evaluate:the given expression

Answer to Problem 22PPS

The numerical value of the given expression is 18

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $6+4(3)$

Calculation:

Given expression: $6+4(3)$

The first step asks to solve the brackets first.

Since, 4(3) mean $4\times 3$

Therefore, the expression finally reduces to

  $6+4(3)=6+4\times 3$

Now to evaluate this, follow order of operations and therefore from step 2 we will first multiply 4 and 3.

  $6+4\times 3=6+12$

Now add 6 and 12, thus we obtain that

  $6+12=18$

Therefore, the numerical value of the given expression is 18.

  $6+4(3)=18$

Conclusion:

Therefore,the numerical value of the given expression is 18
