10 points, math help please? :)

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-17] [Hit: ]
Same goes for addition and subtraction.Thats the way you wrote it so dont blame me if it comes out to be the wrong answer. Its written as 5 minus 1 divided by 3 times (6-2) plus 2. Im not sure if you meant that or 5-(1/3)x(6-2)+2.......
Ok well I have this question: 5-1/3x(6-2)+2

When I do it on the calculator it says the answer is 5 2/3 but whenever I try to do it I get 6 2/3. Can someone explain how to do this question? I've tried it about 5 times now lol.

the answer i got was 5 2/3

using BEDMAS you do the brackets first so
5-1/3x(4)+2
then you multiply so it becomes
5-4/3+2
subtract 4/3 from 5 (or 1 1/3 from five)
3 2/3+2
which equals 5 2/3

you are probably just forgetting about the extra 1 from 4/3 and just subtracting 1/3 from 5...

PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponent, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction)
Keep in mind that when you have multiplication and division, you work from left to right. If division comes first, then you do that before multiplication. Same goes for addition and subtraction.

5-1/3x(6-2)+2
5-1/3x4+2
5-(1/3)x4+2
5-(4/3)+2
(15/3)-(4/3)+2
(11/3)+2
(11/3)+(6/3)
17/3

That's the way you wrote it so don't blame me if it comes out to be the wrong answer. It's written as 5 minus 1 divided by 3 times (6-2) plus 2. I'm not sure if you meant that or 5-(1/3)x(6-2)+2.

5 - 4/3 + 2 = 7 - 4/3 = 17/3 = 5 2/3
