Can someone tell me what error was made in this problem RE: MATH?

Question

10-6(9-4)to the 2nd power
4(5)the the 2nd power
4(25)
100

Answer 1

10-6(9-4)^2 =
10 - 6*5^2 =
10 - 6*25 =
10 - 150 =
-140

what you did was do the subtraction (10-6) before you multiplied the 6 by (9-4)^2. You need to do multiplication first.

Answer 2

You aren't following the rules.
Your second line should be 10-6*5^2, which would then become 10-6*25, etc, which is much different from 100.

Answer 3

10-6(9-4)^2

10-6(5)^2

10-6(25) [Order of operations: you have to multiply 6 times 5^2 before you can subtract]

10-150= -140

Answer 4

this is only a guess, but maybe it's supposed to be

10-6(9-4)to the 2nd
10-6(5)to the 2nd
10-6(25)
10-150
-140

Answer 5

10 - 6(9-4)^2
10- 6 (5)^2
10 - 6(25)
10 - 150
-140

the problem is order of operations.... multiplication before subtraction...

Answer 6

10 minus 6 times 5 to the second power.
first simplify: (9-4) to second power=25
now: 10 minus 6 times 25

10-150=**MINUS 140** is the CORRECT ANSWER

the correct order is: raise simplified number to power, THEN multiplication and division, THEN addition or subtraction.

Answer 7

Well everybody has the answer right with -140 but here is a tip, just remember this:
Please / P / Parenthesis
Excuse / E / exponents
My / M / multiplication
Dear / D / division
Aunt / A / addition
Sally / S / subtraction

or just come just come up with a phrase of your own.

hope this helps you!!!!!

Answer 8

you need to rewrrite the equation correctly.. its not clear enough for me.. you must group terms with a parenthesis
