According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we will work to solve the exercise from left to right:
9+3=11
11-1=10
And this is the solution!
\( 0:7+1= \)
Addition and subtraction have equal priority in order of operations. When operations have the same priority, we always work from left to right. This keeps our calculations organized and consistent!
That would give you 9+2=11, which happens to be the same answer! But this is not correct reasoning. Without parentheses, you must work left to right: 9+3-1.
Think of it like reading! We read from left to right, so we calculate from left to right too. This applies to addition/subtraction and multiplication/division when they appear together.
Yes! Whether it's or , always work from left to right when operations have equal priority. This builds good habits for algebra!
Write out each step clearly! For 9+3-1, write: Step 1: 9+3=12, then Step 2: 12-1=11. Breaking it down helps you stay organized.
