SUMMARY

The equation (3|(sqrt(2log4(16)) - (3*5^2))|+1)/(11/4) simplifies to a value of 80. The calculations confirm that 2 log4(16) equals 4, and 3 * 52 equals 75. The absolute value operation results in 3 * |-73|, which equals 219, leading to a final calculation of 80 when divided by (11/4). This confirms the initial solution provided by the user.

Listed above.

The Attempt at a Solution



I solved through the above equation and got the answer to be 80 and I was wondering if this is correct. When I plug it into wolframalpha, I get 80 as well (as seen here), but I just want to be sure before moving forward.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is not an equation, it is an expressdion! If you are simply asking for its value,

2 log_4(16)= 2(2)= 4 sqrt(4)= 2 3*5^2= 75

2- 75= -73. 3|-73|= 219. 219+ 1= 220. 220*(4/11)= 20*4= 80 so, yes, you are correct.
