Exercise #16

What is the result of the following equation?

364÷2 36-4\div2

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given equation is 364÷2 36 - 4 \div 2 . To solve this, we must follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).


Step 1: Division

  • Identify the division operation in the equation: 4÷2 4 \div 2 .

  • Perform the division: 4÷2=2 4 \div 2 = 2 .


Now the equation becomes: 362 36 - 2 .


Step 2: Subtraction

  • Perform the subtraction: 362=34 36 - 2 = 34 .

Therefore, the result of the equation 364÷2 36 - 4 \div 2 is 34 34 .
