(5-6)10 or 5-6(10); which is greater?
Follow PEMDAS:
(5-6)10 = (-1)(10) = -10
Parentheses come first, so we simplify the terms in them before any other operations.
5-6(10) = 5-(-60) = 5+60 = 65
PEMDAS states that multiplication and division are held equal, so work left to right, and they come before addition and subtraction. So, we see multiply -6 and 10; we don’t subtract 5-6 in this case.
So, 65>-10, meaning that 5-6(10)>(5-6)10
