Simplify the following expression.
(2+1×2)−4×6
=(2+2)−4×6
=4−4×6
=4−24
=−20
My answer was 20 and it was wrong.
When i look at this i see, 2 plus 1 times 2 minus 4 times 6
The part I am getting wrong is the minus, which in this case means a -4 instead of a 4.
I don't understand how you can you tell the difference ?
My only conclusion is that since this is a order of operations module, that this doesn't really exist outside of the module, that its just a example for learning ?
Or maybe since its saying to simplyify the expresion, that right there is telling me that I am not going to add or subtract some how ?
Thanks for any advice in advance
