Simplify the expression using the order of operations.

Question

8+2×42
= 8+2×
= 8+
=

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 8 + 2 \times 42 \) using the order of operations, we follow these steps:

1. According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we first perform the multiplication before the addition.
2. Calculate \( 2 \times 42 \): \[ 2 \times 42 = 84 \]
3. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 8 + 84 \]
4. Finally, perform the addition: \[ 8 + 84 = 92 \]

So, the simplified expression is \( 92 \).
