Question

What is the value of the expression below?
(9+3)+4(6-7)

A.-7
B.-1
C.7
D.20

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of operations rules require that we evaluate the expressions inside parentheses first.  (9 + 3) becomes (12) and (6 - 7) becomes -1.

Then the original expression becomes  (12) + 4(-1).

This in turn becomes 12 - 4, which is 8.  Please double-check to ensure that you have copied down the four possible answers correctly.
