Simplify: 44 - 12( -15 + 18) ÷ 9 ?

Answer 1

#40#

The sequence of operations is crucial to keep in mind in this case. We start with the actions inside the parentheses, which add up to equal.

#-15 + 18 = 3#

After that, we'll multiply and divide from left to right.

#-12 times 3 = -36#

This is divided by nine to obtain

#-36 div 9 = -4#

Finally, we subtract it.

#44-4=40#

To simplify the expression, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

Start with the parentheses: -15 + 18 = 3
Next, do the division: 12 ÷ 9 = 4
Now, substitute the results back into the expression: 44 - 12 * 3 ÷ 9
Multiply first: 12 * 3 = 36
Divide: 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Subtract: 44 - 4 = 40

So, the simplified expression is 40.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
