## Envision Math 6th Grade Textbook Answer Key Topic 2.3 Order of Operations

Order of Operations

How do you know which operation to perform first?
Evaluate 14 + 8 × 6.

Other Examples
Evaluate 20 + (30 – 10) ÷ 5.
Using order of operations:
20 + (30 – 10) ÷ 5 ← Compute inside the parentheses first.
20 + 20 ÷ 5 ← Next, divide.
20 + 4 ← Finally, add.

Use the order of operations to evaluate.

Evaluate 42 – (4 + 6) ÷ 2.
Using order of operations:
42 – (4 + 6) ÷ 2 ← Compute inside theparentheses first.
42 – 10 ÷ 2 ← Evaluate exponents.
16 – 10 ÷ 2 ← Then divide.
16 – 5 ← Finally, subtract.

Explain It
Question 1.
To evaluate 3 × (7 + 5), what should you do first and why?
First, add 7 + 5 since that operation is inside the parentheses.
Explanation:

Question 2.
In the second example using the scientific calculator, what is the purpose of the key?
It is the key that is used to evaluate a base number raised to the power of an exponent.
Explanation:

Mathematicians use a set of rules known as order of operations , the order in which to perform operations in calculations.
1. Compute inside parentheses.
2. Evaluate terms with exponents.
3. Multiply and divide from left to right.
4. Add and subtract from left to right.

Using the correct order of operations, 14 + 8 × 6 = 62.
A scientific calculator uses order of operations.
