First, we solve the exerciseAccording to the order of operations, multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, therefore we first divide 16 by 4 and then multiply the result by 2:
Then, we solve the exercise:
Now, we solve the exercise:
According to the order of operations, the exercise within parentheses is first, so we first multiply 4 by 2 and then proceed to the division operation.
In the last step we add:
Since 22 is greater than 16, the corresponding result is
\( 100+5-100+5 \)
Parentheses force the multiplication 4×2 to happen first! Without them, division and multiplication have equal priority and work left to right: 16÷4×2 = 4×2 = 8. With parentheses: 16÷(4×2) = 16÷8 = 2.
Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division left to right, Addition/Subtraction left to right) or BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction).
Work from the innermost parentheses outward. Always complete everything inside parentheses before moving to operations outside them.
Yes! When operations have the same priority (like × and ÷), always work left to right. This is why 16÷4×2 equals 8, not 2.
Calculate each expression step-by-step separately, then compare the final results. For this problem: 14+8=22 and 14+2=16, so 22 > 16.
