122 ÷ 4 − 2 + 6
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{122}{4} - 2 + 6\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{122}{4} - 2 + 6 = \frac{69}{2} = 34.5 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{122}{4}\), \(\frac{-2}{1}\), and \(\frac{6}{1}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{122}{4} - 2 + 6 &= \frac{122 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} + \frac{-2 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{6 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{122 + -8 + 24}{4} \\ &= \frac{138}{4} \\&= \frac{69}{2} \end{aligned} \]
