From Tanisha:
I would just like to double check if something like 5x squared times 4x cubed equals 20x to the power of 5??
It's just that we were told you can only answer an equation like this if the base is the same...so does that mean the x part or the whole thing like 5x?
I'm sorry if that didn't make sense!
Thank you for your help!!

I got 1 as my answer despite BODMAS making it 12 because logic tells
me I ought to place brackets around the first set of repeated addition. Could you
please clarify this for me? Thank you 😊

I am just curious whether Bedmas would be used in the following question as it is not in the typical Bedmas format.
Multiply 12 x 24
Add 26
Divide by 2
Subtract 7
Would we go about doing it in the sequence it is given or in Bedmas ?

I am in grade 7. My teacher tells me brackets always first, well i know that but, 5 (-4) x 2
Does the (-4) count as a bracket or is it just telling you not to minus 4 from 5 but to multiply 5 x -4 ? Am i correct?

From Brian:
It has to do with the 4 rules of operations, Parentheses first before operations outside/evaluate all exponential expressions/all multiplication and divisions/then all additions and subtractions. Who made these rules and when did they make them,,, I know its somewhat of an unorthadox question but I must know. I would really appreciate it.

From Stefanie:
I do remember the rules of BEDMAS, but for some reason this question puzzles me.
6 X 9 - 3 + 44
I started with the Multiplication
54 - 3 + 44
But then I got stuck, do I proceed with adding the 44 and subtracting the 3
or figure out what -3 + 44 is, but then how would that work with 54?
