i really need help i don't get it

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: Find half the difference of 14 and 6, multiply by 6, then add 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Hierarchy Rules of Operators, we must follow these steps:

(i) Subtract 6 from 14.

$\frac{1}{2}\times 8\times 6 + 4$

(ii) Multiply the result in (i) by $\frac{1}{2}$ and 6.

$24+4$

(ii) Add 4 to the result in (ii).

$28$

Hence, the correct answer is: Find half the difference of 14 and 6, multiply by 6, then add 4.
