Answer:
A: step 3: (25 +3)/0.5 -16.4/4
B: step 6: 56 -4.1
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the steps in evaluating the expression (5² +3)/|-0.5| -16.4/4.
The first step lists the given expression. In step 2, we show the evaluation of the absolute value function. In step 3, the term with an exponent is evaluated. Step 4 sees the sum in the numerator of the first fraction evaluated, and that fraction is evaluated in step 5. Step 6 sees the second fraction evaluated. Finally, the difference is evaluated in step 7.
