Solve the expression 15•8^0/5 + 4 (7^0 - 6)

1 answer

To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS):

Step 1: Exponents
8^0 = 1
7^0 = 1

Step 2: Parentheses
7^0 - 6 = 1 - 6 = -5

Step 3: Multiplication and Division (left to right)
15•8^0/5 = 15•1/5 = 15/5 = 3

Step 4: Addition and Subtraction (left to right)
3 + 4*(-5) = 3 - 20 = -17

So the solution to the expression is -17.
