Question

Simplify the expression.

13 - 2 (1 - 15) / 4

Answer 1

that is so wrong

Answer 2

To simplify the expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
1 - 15 = -14

Next, we multiply -2 by the result of the previous step:
-2 * (-14) = 28

Then, we divide the result by 4:
28 / 4 = 7

Finally, we subtract 7 from 13:
13 - 7 = 6

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

We'll simplify the expression using the order of operations.

First, we solve what's inside the parentheses:
1 - 15 = -14.

Next, we multiply -2 by -14:
-2 * (-14) = 28.

Finally, we divide 28 by 4:
28 / 4 = 7.

Now, we subtract 7 from 13:
13 - 7 = 6.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.
