According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

$7+4=11$

Now we subtract:

$13-11=2$

Answer

$2$

examples with solutions for additional arithmetic rules

Exercise #1

$28-(4+9)=$

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

$4+9=13$

Now we obtain the exercise:

$28-13=15$

Answer

$15$

Exercise #2

$55-(8+21)=$

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

$8+21=29$

Now we obtain the exercise:

$55-29=26$

Answer

$26$

Exercise #3

$37-(4-7)=$

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

$4-7=-3$

Now we obtain:

$37-(-3)=$

Remember that the product of a negative and a negative results in a positive, therefore:

$-(-3)=+3$

Now we obtain:

$37+3=40$

Answer

$40$

Exercise #4

$80-(4-12)=$

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

$4-12=-8$

Now we obtain the exercise:

$80-(-8)=$

Remember that the product of plus and plus gives us a positive:

$-(-8)=+8$

Now we obtain:

$80+8=88$

Answer

$88$

Exercise #5

$100-(30-21)=$

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

$30-21=9$

Now we obtain:

$100-9=91$

Answer

$91$
