After substituting, what is the first operation performed when evaluating 5 + (9 x minus 3) divide 2 for x = 5?

The first operation performed is multiplying 9 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Brackets

2. Parenthesis

3. Exponents

4. Multiplication

5. Division

6. Addition

7. Subtraction

We look at the parenthesis first, and we notice we are multiplying 2 numbers together, so that is our first step.

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."
