Evaluating the Expression: (12+6-5x3)x(2x2+1-7+2)
In this article, we will evaluate the expression (12+6-5x3)x(2x2+1-7+2)
and find its value.
Step 1: Evaluate the expressions inside the parentheses
Let's start by evaluating the expressions inside the parentheses.
(12+6-5x3)
First, let's evaluate the expression 5x3
. Since x
is not defined, we will assume it's a variable. Therefore, we will leave it as 5x3
.
Now, let's add and subtract the numbers:
12 + 6 = 18
Subtract 5x3
from 18
:
18 - 5x3
So, (12+6-5x3) = 18 - 5x3
.
(2x2+1-7+2)
Evaluate the expression 2x2
. Again, since x
is not defined, we will leave it as 2x2
.
Now, let's add and subtract the numbers:
2x2 + 1 = 2x2 + 1
Subtract 7
from 2x2 + 1
:
2x2 + 1 - 7 = 2x2 - 6
Add 2
to 2x2 - 6
:
2x2 - 6 + 2 = 2x2 - 4
So, (2x2+1-7+2) = 2x2 - 4
.
Step 2: Multiply the two expressions
Now that we have evaluated the expressions inside the parentheses, let's multiply them:
(18 - 5x3) × (2x2 - 4)
To multiply these two expressions, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):
18 × 2x2 = 36x2
-5x3 × 2x2 = -10x5
18 × -4 = -72
-5x3 × -4 = 20x3
Now, let's add all the terms:
36x2 - 10x5 - 72 + 20x3
So, the final answer is:
(12+6-5x3)x(2x2+1-7+2) = 36x2 - 10x5 - 72 + 20x3
Note that the final answer is an expression containing variables, so it's not a numerical value.
