What is the value of the expression 2 + 3 x 4?

Back

14 (First, multiply 3 x 4 = 12, then add 2 = 14).

Front

How do you simplify the expression 5 + (2 x 3)?

Back

First, calculate the expression in parentheses: 2 x 3 = 6, then add 5 + 6 = 11.

Front

What is the result of 10 - 2 + 3?

Back

11 (Perform subtraction and addition from left to right: 10 - 2 = 8, then 8 + 3 = 11).

Front

What is the value of the expression 4(2 + 3)?

Back

20 (First, calculate the expression in parentheses: 2 + 3 = 5, then multiply 4 x 5 = 20).

Front

Which operation should be performed first in the expression 8 + 2 x 5?

Back

Multiplication (2 x 5 = 10, then add 8 + 10 = 18).

Front

What is the value of the expression (6 + 2) x 3?

Back

24 (First, calculate the expression in parentheses: 6 + 2 = 8, then multiply 8 x 3 = 24).

Front

What is the value of the expression 12 - (4 + 2)?

Back

6 (First, calculate the expression in parentheses: 4 + 2 = 6, then subtract 12 - 6 = 6).

Front

What is the value of the expression 5 + 3 x 2 - 4?

Back

9 (First, multiply 3 x 2 = 6, then add and subtract from left to right: 5 + 6 - 4 = 7).
