Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:09 Let's start with the parentheses, they always come first.
00:19 Next, we handle multiplication and division before any addition or subtraction.
00:25 Now, we're left with an easy addition problem.
00:28 And there you have it, that's the solution!

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we'll first solve the exercises in parentheses:

(166)=10 (16-6)=10

(73)=4 (7-3)=4

We should obtain the following exercise:

10×9+4 10\times9+4

We'll place the multiplication exercise in parentheses to avoid confusion in the rest of the solution:

(10×9)+4= (10\times9)+4=

According to the order of operations, we'll solve the multiplication exercise and then add:

90+4=94 90+4=94

Answer

94 94
