Using the order of operations, what is the last calculation that should be done to evaluate 4(8 − 6)52 − 6 ÷ (−3)? 4(8 − 6)52 − 6 ÷ (−3)
4(2)52 − 6 ÷ (−3)
4(2)(25) − 6 ÷ (−3)
200 − 6 ÷ (−3)
200 − (−2)

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

4(8 - 6)52 - 6 ÷ (-3)

First, subtract 6 from 8

4(2)52 - 6 ÷ (-3)

4(2)(52) - 6 ÷ (-3)

Multiply 2 by 52

416 - 6 ÷ (-3)

Divide -6 by -3.

416 + 2

Add 2 to 416

418

So, your evaluated answer would be 418.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
