Square a 2 Digit Number Ending in 5

For this example we will use 25

  • Take the "tens" part of the number (the 2 and add 1)=3
  • Multiply the original "tens" part of the number by the new number (2x3)
  • Take the result (2x3=6) and put 25 behind it. Result the answer 625.

Try a few more :

75 squared ... = 7x8=56 ... put 25 behind it is 5625.

BODMAS RULE

B      Brackets first
O      Orders (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
DM   Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)
AS     Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

EX :    
What is the result of 3+3×3+3=?


the way you would solve this is:

1.) 3+3x3+3 - The first step this problem is to see all is used in this equation. You will do this by going through the PEMDAS this means:

P- Parentheses ( or )

E- Exponents/ I can’t show you what it looks like but an example is 5 to the 2 power. This does not mean 5x2. You would do 5x5.

M and D- Multiplication and Division (from left to right). There are multiple signs for Multiplication such as ( x ,. ,*) and Division is ➗ or can be shown as a fraction.

A and S- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right) + and -

You may remember this from Elementary school when you most likely first learned these steps from the phrase “ Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally”.

In this equation, there is no parentheses or exponents. You will start with the multiplication part of this equation (3+3x3+3). Once you multiply these two numbers you will end up with:

3+9+3

2.) The second step the this equation is to add the first 3 to the 9 and after you do this you will end up with;

12+3

3.) The last step of this equation is to add the 3 to the 12 once you do this you will have your final answer:

15

When you work this out on a piece of paper it should look like this:
3+3x3+3

3+9+3

12+3

15

Once you get more advance in these type of equations you will look for brackets [ ].
