[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, Does it matter in (1) that the 4 is not right next to the parenthesis? It's not 6^2 - 4(7-4). It was clearly written with a multiplication sign b/t the 4 and the parenthetical. I would have done it like 21:37 wrote if it had been 4(7-4). It's a bit confusing.[/quote] No, both mean to multiply - whether there is a multiplication sign or if the number is directly outside the parenthesis. Generally, kids do not start learning 4(3-1) until 5th or 6th grade or so. Up until then, they use the multiplication sign. [/quote]
