8 - 1 - (18 - 2) / 8 results in 2.(1 point)

Question

True
False

Answer 1

Let's evaluate the expression step by step:

The expression is:

\[ 8 - 1 - (18 - 2) / 8 \]

1. First, solve the parentheses: \[ 18 - 2 = 16 \]

The expression now looks like:

\[ 8 - 1 - 16 / 8 \]

2. Next, perform the division: \[ 16 / 8 = 2 \]

Now the expression is:

\[ 8 - 1 - 2 \]

3. Now, subtract 1 from 8: \[ 8 - 1 = 7 \]

4. Finally, subtract 2 from 7: \[ 7 - 2 = 5 \]

So, the value of the expression is 5.

Thus, the statement "8 - 1 - (18 - 2) / 8 results in 2" is False.
