What does GMA stand for in simplifying numerical expressions?

Back

GMA stands for 'Order of Operations' which includes Grouping, Multiplication, and Addition.

Front

What is the order of operations used in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Front

What is the purpose of parentheses in numerical expressions?

Back

Parentheses indicate which operations should be performed first.

Front

How do you simplify the expression 4 x (3 + 2)?

Back

First, simplify inside the parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5, then multiply: 4 x 5 = 20.

Front

What is the result of 5 + 2 x 3?

Back

The result is 11, because you multiply first: 2 x 3 = 6, then add: 5 + 6 = 11.
