QuestionSolve for the sum: what is (+8)+(2)(+8) + (-2)?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The problem is a simple arithmetic operation involving addition and multiplication. . The operation follows the order of operations, or BIDMAS/BODMAS/PEDMAS, which stands for Brackets/Orders (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)/Division/Multiplication/Addition/Subtraction.

STEP 2

The problem is asking us to perform the operation (+8)(2)=10(+8) \quad(-2)=10. This seems to be a mistake, as the operation between +8+8 and 2-2 is not specified.However, if we assume that the operation is addition, the equation would be +8+(2)=10+8 + (-2) =10.

STEP 3

Perform the addition operation.
+8+(2)=+6+8 + (-2) = +6

STEP 4

Compare the result with the given value on the right side of the equation.
+610+6 \neq10The result does not equal to10, which means our assumption that the operation is addition is incorrect.

STEP 5

Let's assume the operation is multiplication, then the equation would be +8×(2)=10+8 \times (-2) =10.

STEP 6

Perform the multiplication operation.
+8×(2)=16+8 \times (-2) = -16

STEP 7

Compare the result with the given value on the right side of the equation.
1610-16 \neq10The result does not equal to10, which means our assumption that the operation is multiplication is also incorrect.

STEP 8

Given the ambiguity in the problem, we cannot find an operation between +8+8 and 2-2 that results in10. Therefore, the problem as stated is incorrect or incomplete.
