Need help asap this problem driving me crazy!!!!

This is a order of operations number grouping expression with no parentheses/exponents, seems easy. When you divide 33/9 it doesn't go into it evenly it has a remainder 3r6. How do you work that in with the other numbers? Do you multiply first or do the division? Just learning basic algebra not easy for a person who never took algebra. Simplify. Please show all of the steps to arrive at your answer.


33 ÷ 9 ∙ 2 – 12 + 6=

Hello, asmith!

This is a order-of-operations number-grouping expression with no parentheses/exponents, seems easy.

When you divide 33/9, it doesn't go into it evenly it has a remainder 3r6.

\(\displaystyle 33 ÷ 9\cdot2 - 12 + 6\)

According to the order-of-operations rule, we will do the division,
the multiplication, the subtraction, and the additon ... in that order.

We have: .\(\displaystyle \underbrace{33 \div 9} \cdot 2 -12 + 6\)

. . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\;\frac{33}{9} \cdot 2 - 12 + 6\)

. . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\;\underbrace{\frac{11}{3}\cdot 2} - 12 + 6 \)

. . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\;\;\;\frac{22}{3} - 12 + 6 \)

. . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\;\;\;\underbrace{\frac{22}{3} - \frac{36}{3}} + 6\)

. . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\quad\text{-}\frac{14}{3} + 6 \)

. . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\quad \underbrace{\text{-}\frac{14}{3} + \frac{18}{3}}\)

. . . . . . . . \(\displaystyle =\qquad\;\; \frac{4}{3}\)

[9] doesn't go into [33] evenly[;] it has a remainder 3r6.

Your remainder above is a typographical error.

The remainder is 6.

Welcome to our boards! Cheers :cool:

PS: I would like to know your reason for the urgency. What is the pressing situation?

Do you multiply first or do the division?

I'm sure that Soroban sincerely believes that he helps you by providing complete camera-ready copy in place of tutoring (misguided as such belief may be) versus simply answering your direct question above and allowing you to proceed on your own.

I prefer to answer your direct question, instead.

The Order of Operations states that we first do the multiplication and division operations from left to right in the order that these operations appear.

Same goes for the next step; do the additions/subtractions from left to right in the order that they appear.

(The only exception to these rules is when grouping symbols change the normal order of operations.)

I sincerely hope that you remember the part in bold above, rather than the following "rule" posted by Soroban.

My pressing matter is that my computer cashed had to reinstalled operating system to take my algebra online classes and I am very behind in my class. Besides not being good at math trying to understand algebra it's like a alien language to me. You guys are great thanks for your help.

Good grief. How many on-line algebra classes are you currently taking?

You don't have a library near-by, or a friend to help you out......

This the cyber-form of "dog ate my homework"..........

I wish my computer would cash. I can use the money!
