How do i solve this order of operations

12

Step-by-step explanation: When you have a set of parentheses in an order of operations problem. you must simplify what's inside that set of parentheses first before you do anything else.

So our first step here is to subtract 64 - 16 which gives us 48.

So in our next step we have 48 ÷ 2².

The next thing to learn about the order of operations is that you must deal with exponents like the 2 in this problem before you can either multiply, divide, add, or subtract. So let's take a look at the exponent part of this problem, 2².

Remember than any number squared is that number times itself. So 2² is just 2 · 2 or 4. So our next step reads 48 ÷ 4 which simplifies to 12.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
