Which expression has an answer of 18?
Correct answer: B. 2 x (4+5)
- A. 2 x 5 + 4
- B. 2 x (4+5)
- C. 5 x (2+4)
- D. 4 x (2+5)
Explanation
The correct option is B: 2 x (4+5). According to the BODMAS rule, solve the expression inside the brackets first, which is 4 + 5, giving 9. Then multiply by 2 to get 18. Other options fail to give 18 because they either multiply or add in a wrong sequence, resulting in different values: Option A gives 14, Option C gives 30, and Option D gives 28.
