Question

29-54-(-34)+(-18)-42

Answer 1

-51………………………………..……,…..

Answer 2

To solve this arithmetic expression, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which stands for Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Multiplication and Division (left-to-right), and Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right). In your expression, there are no parentheses or exponents, so we'll start with multiplication and division from left to right, then move on to addition and subtraction from left to right:

1. 29 - 54 - (-34) + (-18) - 42

Now, perform the multiplications and divisions:

2. 29 - 54 + 34 + (-18) - 42

3. 29 - 54 + 34 - 18 - 42

Now, perform the additions and subtractions from left to right:

4. (29 - 54) + 34 - 18 - 42

5. (-25) + 34 - 18 - 42

6. 9 - 18 - 42

7. -9 - 42

8. -51

So, the result of the expression is -51.
