Exercise #14

−7−(−5)+8.5+(−13)=? -7-(-5)+8.5+(-13)=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's begin by expanding the parentheses. Make sure to pay attention to the minus and plus signs, which change accordingly:

−(−5)=5 -(-5)=5

8.5+(−13)=8.5−13 8.5+(-13)=8.5-13

We should obtain the following:

−7+5+8.5−13= -7+5+8.5-13=

Now let's solve the exercise from left to right:

−2+8.5−13= -2+8.5-13=

6.5−13=−6.5 6.5-13=-6.5

Answer

−6.5 -6.5

Exercise #15

7.5+(−9.5)+5+(−13.5)=? 7.5+(-9.5)+5+(-13.5)=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's begin by expanding the parentheses whilst paying attention to the minus and plus signs, which change accordingly:

+(−9.5)=−9.5 +(-9.5)=-9.5

+(−13)=−13 +(-13)=-13

We should obtain the following:

7.5−9.5+5−13.5= 7.5-9.5+5-13.5=

Now let's solve the exercise from left to right:

−2+5−13.5= -2+5-13.5=

3−13.5=−10.5 3-13.5=-10.5

Answer

−10.5 -10.5

Exercise #16

What is the missing sign?

4+7−3+1−5 4+7-3+1-5

___

4+(7−3+1−5) 4+(7-3+1-5)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we solve the exercise:

4+7−3+1−5= 4+7-3+1-5 =

According to the rules of the order of operations, we solve the exercise from left to right:

4+7=11 4+7=11

11−3=8 11-3=8

8+1=9 8+1=9

9−5=4 9-5=4

Now we solve the exercise:

4+(7−3+1−5)= 4+(7-3+1-5) =

According to the rules of the order of operations, we first solve the parentheses and then we will join:

(7−3+1−5)= (7-3+1-5)=

(4+1−5)= (4+1-5)=

(5−5)=0 (5-5)=0

4+0=4 4+0=4

Therefore:

4=4 4=4

Answer

= =
