Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember PEMDAS. This will help you a lot in algebra.
P Parenthesis
E Exponents
M Multiplication
D Division
A Addition
S Subtraction
This is the order of how all the operations should take place.
Note: Multiplication and Division happen together. Just go from left to right. This is the same for Addition and Subtraction.
Onto the problem!
First, look at PEMDAS.
P stands for Parenthesis so first we look for those.
In this case, we have a set here. Solve whatever is inside.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*(4+8)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*(12)[/tex]
Next, look for Exponents. There aren't any in this expression, so we're okay to move on.
Now, look for Multiplication or Division.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*(12)[/tex]
[tex]6[/tex]
The answer is 6.
I really hope this helped you! Asking for help is a great first step in math! Keep at it and I'm sure you'll succeed. :)
