Question

solve the expression 15 times 8 to the power of 0 / 5 + 4 (7 to the power of 0 - 6)

Answer 1

To solve the expression, we follow the appropriate order of operations (also known as PEMDAS).

First, let's calculate the exponentiation:
8 to the power of 0 = 1
7 to the power of 0 = 1

Now we rewrite the expression:
15 * 1 / 5 + 4 * (1 - 6)

Next, we perform the multiplication and addition/subtraction from left to right:
15 * 1 = 15
15 / 5 = 3
4 * (1 - 6) = 4 * (-5) = -20

Finally, we add the results together:
3 + (-20) = -17

Therefore, the solution to the expression 15 times 8 to the power of 0 divided by 5 plus 4 times the quantity of 7 to the power of 0 minus 6, is -17.
