No, inside parenthesis takes the cake on this one before the outside occurs.

How do you combine like terms using the distributive property?
Technically those are two different things that you must do when dealing with algebra. For example: 3(3a+2b)+4a First you use the distributive property with the 3(3a+2b). If there is a coefficient on the inside of the parentheses then you multiply it by the number on the outside of the parentheses. After doing so, the algebraic sentence would become: 9a+6b+4a Then when you combine like terms, or when two terms have the same variable, therefore, can be combined, you take the sign in front of the like terms along with them. So you would take the addition sign along with 9a and 4a, meaning you add them together. Then the algebraic sentence would become: 13a+6b (Hint: Always list the variables alphabetically, so 13a would come before 6b.)
Is there a trick to multiplying mixed numbers?
you have to turn them into improper fractions before you multiply them.
What does Cross multiplication mean?
Cross multiplication is when you multiply the denominator of a fraction by the numerator of another fraction. Before you cross multiply you want to see if you can simply the fractions.
What is 77 x 77?
5929How you get it is to first multiply 77 with 7 and get 539. Then multiply 77 by 70 by multiplying by 7 again as before, but adding a 0 on the end. That gives 5390. Then add 539 to 5390 and get 5929.
1 over 12 times 4 over 9?
Multiply the numerators of both fractions. That's the numerator of the result.Also, multiply the denominator of both fractions. That's the denominator of the result. Simplify as appropriate. Actually, it helps to simplify before doing the actual multiplication.
Do you put a period before or after a parenthesis?
After the parenthesis.
Do parenthesis go before or after periods?
Parenthesis go before the period. The period signals the end of the sentence.
Should the comma come before or after the parenthesis?
If a comma is needed, it normally comes after parenthesis.
Should the Period be before or after parenthesis?

Do brackets go before parenthesis?

Why do you use parenthesis in Algebra?
(3x3+1)2+1=7x2+1=15 and that is how you use parenthesis but, always do parenthesis before you do anything else......^_^
Parenthesis after a comma but ends a sentence?
A comma does not belong before a parenthesis ( which is always part of the preceding idea).
Do you use a comma before parenthesis?
There might be a situation in which you would use a comma before a parenthesis, but generally you do not do this. A pair of parentheses already sets its contents apart from the rest of a sentence, so there is no need for a comma to precede the left parenthesis.
What do brackets mean in a math sum?
solve anything in brackets before anything else. ex: [7+2(9-4)]8 you would do the 7+2 first, (9) then the parenthesis (5) then multiply the 9 and the 5 (45) and then multiply that by 8 (360)
How many times do you space before a right parenthesis?
Zero.
In the following problem what property allows you to multiply 5 by 2 before multiplying by 13?
I am guessing your problem is to compute 5 times 2 times 13. In this case, the property you are using the associative property.
How do you explain distributive property?
Distributive property can be explained by taking the number(s) inside the parentheses () and multiplying them by the number(s) outside the parentheses.For example: 2(5+7)=10+14=24Explanation: since the distribution property comes first in the order of operations, you would distribute the two (2) to the five (5) and seven (7), then add the multiplied numbers.Here's a harder one: 9(3x+24x)=27x+216x=243xExplanation: same as the one before. Distribute, then add.
