Determine the first expression to evaluate in each problem (3+3)+6÷3+6

To know what to do first in a math problem we look to order of operations... PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.  So to begin we look for parentheses... do we have any?  Why, yes, yes we do.  Let's work!

(3+3) + 6 / 3 + 6 =

Add 3+3 in the parentheses. Since there is nothing else, the parentheses can go away.

6 + 6 / 3 + 6 =

Now, any exponents? Nope... Multiplication? Nope... division?  Yes!  Let's go!

6 + 2 + 6 =

Now all we have left is addition... Go for it!

8 + 6 = 14

Done!

A. -10 is the value of x
