9-2^3/1-4

1 answer

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we need to solve the exponent first:

9 - 2^3 / 1 - 4

= 9 - 8 / 1 - 4

Since division and multiplication should be done before addition and subtraction, we solve the division next:

= 9 - (8 / 1) - 4

= 9 - 8 - 4

= 1 - 4

= -3
