Examples with solutions for Parentheses in advanced Order of Operations: Two Pairs of Parentheses

Exercise #1

(3+21):(1+3)1+5= (3+2-1):(1+3)-1+5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This simple rule is the order of operations which states that multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, and operations enclosed in parentheses come first,

In the given example of division between two given numbers in parentheses, therefore according to the order of operations mentioned above, we start by calculating the values of each of the numbers within the parentheses, there is no prohibition against calculating the result of the addition operation in the given number, for the sake of proper order, this operation is performed later:

(3+21):(1+3)1+5=4:41+5 (3+2-1):(1+3)-1+5= \\ 4:4-1+5 In continuation of the principle that division comes before addition and subtraction the division operation is performed first and then the operations of subtraction and addition which were received in the given number and in the last stage:

4:41+5=11+5=5 4:4-1+5= \\ 1-1+5=\\ 5 Therefore the correct answer here is answer B.

Exercise #2

Solve the following problem:

(743)(1562)+352= (7-4-3)(15-6-2)+3\cdot5\cdot2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's simplify this expression whilst following the order of operations. Exponents precede multiplication and division, which in turn precede addition and subtraction, and that parentheses precede all of the above:

Therefore, we'll start by simplifying the expressions inside of the parentheses first:
(743)(1562)+352=07+352= (7-4-3)(15-6-2)+3\cdot5\cdot2= \\ 0\cdot7+3\cdot5\cdot2=

We'll continue to perform the multiplications in the two terms we obtained in the expression in the last stage, this is because multiplication comes before addition. In each term we'll perform the multiplications step by step from left to right, also remember that multiplying any number by 0 gives a result of 0:

07+352=0+152=30 0\cdot7+3\cdot5\cdot2= \\ 0+15\cdot2= \\ 30

Note that since the commutative property of multiplication applies, and in the second term from the left in the expression we simplified above there is multiplication between all terms, the order of operations in this calculation doesn't matter (it's not necessary to perform the left multiplication first etc. as we did), however it is recommended to practice performing operations from left to right as this is the natural order of arithmetic operations (in the absence of parentheses, or other preceding arithmetic operations according to the known order of operations mentioned at the beginning of this solution)

Therefore the correct answer is answer D.

Exercise #3

Complete the following exercise:

(78)+32:1+(54)= \frac{(7-8)+3}{2}:1+(5-4)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This simple equation emphasizes the order of operations, indicating that exponentiation precedes multiplication and division, which come before addition and subtraction, and that operations within parentheses take precedence over all others,

Let's start by discussing the given equation, the first step from the left is division by the number 1, remember that dividing any number by 1 always yields the same number, so we can simply disregard the division by 1 operation, which essentially leaves the equation (with the division by 1 operation, or without it) unchanged, namely:

(78)+32:1+(54)=(78)+32+(54)= \frac{(7-8)+3}{2}:1+(5-4)= \\ \downarrow\\ \frac{(7-8)+3}{2}+(5-4)=

Continuing with this equation,

Let's note that both the numerator and the denominator in a fraction (every fraction) are equations (in their entirety) between which a division operation is performed, namely- they can be treated as the numerator and the denominator in a fraction as equations that are closed, thus we can rewrite the given equation and write it in the following form:

(78)+32+(54)=((78)+3):2+(54) \frac{(7-8)+3}{2}+(5-4)= \\ \downarrow\\ \big((7-8)+3\big):2+(5-4) We highlight this to emphasize that fractions which are the numerator and similarly in its denominator should be treated separately, indeed as if they are closed,

Returning to the original equation, namely - in the given form, and simplifying, we simplify the equation that is in the numerator of the fraction and, this is done in accordance with the order of operations mentioned above and in a systematic manner:

(78)+32+(54)=1+32+1=22+1 \frac{(7-8)+3}{2}+(5-4)= \\ \frac{-1+3}{2}+1= \\ \frac{2}{2}+1 In the first stage, we simplified the equation that is in the numerator of the fraction, this in accordance with the order of operations mentioned above hence we started with the equation that is closed, and only then did we perform the multiplication operation that is in the numerator of the fraction, in contrast, we simplified the equation that is in closed parentheses,

Continuing we simplify the equation in accordance with the order of operations mentioned above,thus the division operation of the fraction (this is done mechanically), and continuing we perform the multiplication operation:

+1=1+1=2 \frac{\not{2}}{\not{2}}+1 =\\ 1+1 =\\ 2 In this case, the simplification process is very short, hence we won't elaborate,

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Exercise #4

Solve the following problem

(9+7+3)(4+5+3)(734)= (9+7+3)(4+5+3)(7-3-4)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's simplify this expression whilst following the order of operations. Exponents precede multiplication and division, which in turn precede addition and subtraction, and parentheses precede all of the above,

Therefore, we'll start by simplifying the expressions inside of the parentheses first:
(9+7+3)(4+5+3)(734)=19120 (9+7+3)(4+5+3)(7-3-4)= \\ 19\cdot12\cdot0

Now we'll calculate the multiplication result step by step from left to right, remembering also that multiplying any number by 0 gives a result of 0:

19120=2280=0 19\cdot12\cdot0 =\\ 228\cdot0 =\\ 0

Since the commutative property of multiplication applies, and in the expression we simplified above there is multiplication between all terms, the order of operations in this calculation doesn't matter (it's not necessary to perform the leftmost multiplication first etc. as we did), however, it is recommended to practice performing operations from left to right as this is the natural order of arithmetic operations (in the absence of parentheses, or other preceding arithmetic operations according to the order of operations mentioned at the beginning of this solution)

Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.

Exercise #5

(5+43)2:(5×210×1)= (5+4-3)^2:(5\times2-10\times1)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This simple rule is the order of operations which states that exponentiation precedes multiplication and division, which precede addition and subtraction, and that operations enclosed in parentheses precede all others,

In the given expression, the establishment of division between two sets of parentheses, note that the parentheses on the left indicate strength, therefore, in accordance to the order of operations mentioned above, we start simplifying the expression within those parentheses, and as we proceed, we obtain the result derived from simplifying the expression within those parentheses with given strength, and in the final step, we divide the result obtained from the simplification of the expression within the parentheses on the right,

We proceed similarly with the simplification of the expression within the parentheses on the left, where we perform the operations of multiplication and division, in strength, in contrast, we simplify the expression within the parentheses on the right, which, according to the order of operations mentioned above, means multiplication precedes division, hence we first perform the operations of multiplication within those parentheses and then proceed with the operation of division:

(5+43)2:(52101)=(2)2:(1010)=4:0 (5+4-3)^2:(5\cdot2-10\cdot1)= \\ (-2)^2:(10-10)= \\ 4:0\\ We conclude that the sequence of operations within the expression that is within the parentheses on the left yields a smooth result, this result we leave within the parentheses, these we raised in the next step in strength, this means we remember that every number (positive or negative) in dual strength gives a positive result,

As we proceed, note that in the last expression we received from establishing division by the number 0, this operation is known as an undefined mathematical operation (and this is the simple reason why a number should never be divided by 0 parts) therefore, the given expression yields a value that is not defined, commonly denoted as "undefined group" and use the symbol :

{} \{\empty\} In summary:

4:0={} 4:0=\\ \{\empty\} Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.
