We use the PEMDAS rule to answer our question which says in an arithmetic operation the order of precedence is the following.
parenthesis > Exponents > Multiplication/ division > addition/ subtraction.
Having that in mind, we see that there is no parenthesis in our expression, and therefore, we proceed to simplify the exponents. Doing this gives
[tex]49-3+9\times\frac{8}{2}[/tex]Next up is multiplication and division, meaning 9 × 8 ÷ 2 is to be simplified.
Since, 9 × 8 ÷ 2 = 36, the expression becomes
[tex]49-3+36[/tex]Now we do addition and subtraction from left to right and we get
[tex]49-3+36=82[/tex]Hence, our expression simplifies to 82.
