Jamal wants to simplify the expression shown below.


LaTeX: (5+8) - (2\times 4) ( 5 + 8 ) − ( 2 × 4 )


What will be the last step Jamal will need to complete to simplify the expression?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Last step is adding all terms.

[tex](5+8) - (2\times 4)( 5 + 8 )-( 2\times4)=-99[/tex]            

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression [tex](5+8) - (2\times 4)( 5 + 8 )-( 2\times4 )[/tex]

To find : What will be the last step Jamal will need to complete to simplify the expression?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression,

[tex](5+8) - (2\times 4)( 5 + 8 )-( 2\times4 )[/tex]

Step 2 - Solve the bracket,

[tex]=13 - (8)(13)-8[/tex]

Step 3 - Solve the bracket,

[tex]=13 -104-8[/tex]

Step 4 - Add all the terms,

[tex]=-99[/tex]

Therefore, [tex](5+8) - (2\times 4)( 5 + 8 )-( 2\times 4)=-99[/tex]

The last step Jamal will need to complete to simplify the expression is adding all the terms.
