The answer is A. The only calculations were doing here are addition and subtraction and it doesn’t matter what order u do them in. If there was any multiplying or division here it would be different. The answer is A. Also can I get brainliest please?
Right now, we would solve everything within the parenthesis first.
(8 - 16) + (8 + 6)
(-8) + (14)
14 - 8
6
But if we remove the parenthesis, it doesn't matter what order we do things in.
8 - 16 + 8 + 6
8 + 8 - 16 + 6
16 - 16 + 6
6
The reason why both of these are the same, is because the only calculations we're doing are addition and subtraction, which don't care about parenthesis.
