How do you find the value of #14*2-5#?

Answer 1

Zoe Adams

See a solution process below:

Using the PEDMAS order of operation first execute the Multiplication operation:

#color(red)(14) * color(red)(2) - 5 => 28 - 5#

Now, execute the Subtraction operation:

#28 - 5 = 23#

To find the value of (14 \times 2 - 5), follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

(14 \times 2 = 28)

Now subtract 5 from 28:

(28 - 5 = 23)

So, (14 \times 2 - 5 = 23).

To find the value of 14 * 2 - 5, you perform the multiplication first, then the subtraction.

So, 14 * 2 equals 28.

Then, subtract 5 from 28.

Thus, the answer is 28 - 5 = 23.
