Explain brackets in order of operation?
Brackets are basically the same as parentheses. If they are inside of parentheses, then you simplify that term before anything else. If they are outside of parentheses, then you simplify the terms in the parentheses first and then the term within the brackets.
How can you use the distributive property to simplify?
To simplify using the distributive property, you distribute a number or variable outside a set of parentheses to each term inside the parentheses. For example, if you have the expression 3(x + 2), you would distribute the 3 to both x and 2 to get 3x + 6. This helps you combine like terms and simplify the expression further.
Remove the parentheses and simplify 11x - 7x - 5?
4x-5.
The order in which calculations are performed in a formula is called?
PEMDAS- Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction
What are the parentheses or the brackets for in math?
Parentheses separate calculations to be performed independent of a larger equation. The resulting quantity then becomes subject to whatever other calculation is established outside the parenthese within that equation. Parentheses within parentheses work the same way, beginning with the most interior groupings until ultimately everything inside the outer parentheses becomes a single quantity.
