The correct answer is:
Evalute the expression:
Explanation
Follow the correct order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. (This is typically abbreviated as PEMDAS. Note that both multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction, are equal to each other in terms of rank, so when both are present, solving the equation proceeds from left to right).
First, simplify anything in parentheses.
Next, simplify any terms with exponents.
Now, perform multiplication.
Since all we are left with is addition and subtraction, we perform simplification from left to right.
Thus, our answer is:
Add in modulo 7:
Explanation
In modulo 7 arithmetic, a number is congruent to the remainder of its division by 7.
Therefore, since and
,
,
and the correct response is 3.
Evaluate:
Explanation
Add the ones digits.
Add the tens digits with the tens digit of the previous number as carryover.
Repeat the process with the hundreds digits.
Combine this number with the ones digits of the previous calculations.
The answer is:
Find the sum of the numbers:
Explanation
Add all the ones digits.
Add the tens digits with the two as the carryover.
Combine this value with the ones digit of the first number.
The answer is:
