Question

Can anyone land a hand pls

Answer 1

26+(10-2³)/4+3•6
First indices(exponents)
26+(10-8)/4+3•6
Then solve the bracket
26+(2)/4+3•6
Division and multiplication occurs from left to right
26+0.5+18
Add them up to get 44.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{89}{2}$ or $44 \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the problem, $26 + (10 - 2^3)/4 + 3 * 6$

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations. Start by working on the terms inside the parenthesis: $2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8$

= 26 + (10 - 8) ÷ 4 + 3 × 6

= 26 + (2) ÷ 4 + 3 × 6

Next, divide 2 by 4:  $\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

= 26 + $\frac{1}{2}$ + 3 × 6

Multiply 3 and 6:

= 26 + $\frac{1}{2}$ + 18

Add 26 and  $\frac{1}{2}$ :

=  $26 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{26*2 + 1}{2} = \frac{53}{2}$ + 18

Add  $\frac{53}{2}$ and 18. Convert 18 into fraction:

=  $\frac{53}{2} + 18 = \frac{53}{2} + \frac{18*2}{2} = \frac{18*2+53}{2} = \frac{89}{2}$

$\frac{89}{2}$ = $44 \frac{1}{2}$ (convert $\frac{89}{2}$ by dividing 89 by 2 to get $44 \frac{1}{2}$).

Therefore, the correct answer is  $\frac{89}{2}$  or $44 \frac{1}{2}$.
