We are given the following expression to solve
[tex]b+6\div4[/tex]
Since the value of the variable b is given, the expression then becomes
[tex]2.5+6\div4[/tex]
Now the question here is what should we do first? addition or division?
Recall the rule of precedence, which says that you should always start with
PEMDAS = Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction
Since division has higher precedence than addition, we will start with division
First, solve the division part 6÷4
[tex]2.5+\frac{6}{4}=2.5+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Then, solve the addition part
[tex]2.5+\frac{3}{2}=4[/tex]
Therefore, the answer of the expression (b+6+4) is found to be 4.
