Use the order of operations to simplify 12−2^3+4÷2+2^4 .(1 point)

Question

A 14
B 20
C 24
D 22

Answer 1

To simplify this expression, we need to use the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

12 - 2^3 + 4 ÷ 2 + 2^4

First, we solve the exponentiation:

12 - 8 + 4 ÷ 2 + 16

Next, we perform the division:

12 - 8 + 2 + 16

Then, we perform the addition:

4 + 2 + 16

Finally, we perform the remaining addition:

6 + 16

The simplified expression is:

22

So, the answer is D) 22.
