(72+8) divide(1 - ( -3)) times 4

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \((72 + 8) \div (1 - (-3)) \times 4\), we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

  1. Calculate inside the parentheses:

    • \(72 + 8 = 80\)
    • \(1 - (-3) = 1 + 3 = 4\)
  2. Now, substitute these values back into the expression: \[ 80 \div 4 \times 4 \]

  3. Perform the division: \[ 80 \div 4 = 20 \]

  4. Now, multiply by 4: \[ 20 \times 4 = 80 \]

Thus, the final result of the expression is \(80\).
