Example Question #8 : Expressions & Equations
Simplify:
Example Question #92 : Variables
Subtract in modulo 11:
In modulo 11 arithmetic, a negative number has 11 added to it as many times as necessary until a positive sum is reached:
Therefore,
Example Question #161 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
Suppose you know the values of all variables in the expression
and you want to evaluate the expression.
In which order will you carry out the operations?
Multiplying, subtracting, adding
Subtracting, adding, multiplying
Adding, subtracting, multiplying
Multiplying, adding, subtracting
Subtracting, multiplying, adding
Multiplying, subtracting, adding
By the order of operations, in the absence of grouping symbols, multiplication takes precedence over addition and subtraction. Addition and subtraction are then carried out with equal priority, but from left to right, so the subtraction is performed second and the addition last.
Example Question #162 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
