Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are following the order of operations, also known as BIDMAS/BODMAS/PEDMAS, which stands for Brackets/Orders (Exponents and Roots, etc.)/Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)/Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right). . The problem is 10+×41=1610+ \times4-1=16

STEP 2

According to the order of operations, multiplication should be done before addition and subtraction. So, we calculate 2×42 \times4 first.
2×4=82 \times4 =8

STEP 3

Now, replace 2×2 \times with 88 in the equation.
10+81=1610 +8 -1 =16

STEP 4

Next, perform the addition operation 10+810 +8.
10+8=1810 +8 =18

STEP 5

Now, replace 10+810 +8 with 1818 in the equation.
181=1618 -1 =16

STEP 6

Finally, perform the subtraction operation 18118 -1.
181=1718 -1 =17So, the solution to the problem 10+2×41=1610+2 \times4-1=16 is 1717, not 1616. There seems to be a mistake in the original problem.
