To find:
The simplified form of the given expression.
Answer to Problem 1CM
Solution:
The simplified form of the given expression is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given expression is
Calculation:
Here, the concept of BODMAS must be applied. According to this rule, the expression must be simplified in the following order:
1. Brackets:
• Curly brackets
• Square brackets
• Curved brackets
2. Off
3. Division
4. Multiplication
5. Addition
6. Subtraction
Applying BODMAS rule to the given expression:
On simplifying the brackets, the given expression transforms to:
After completing the ‘OFF’ operation, the given expression reduces to:
Simplifying the expression further by multiplying
