To find the answer to the equation, you need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
Let's solve the equation step by step:
1. Solve inside the parentheses first: (12 + 13) 12 + 13 = 25
2. Apply the 1/2 to the result inside the parentheses: 1/2 * 25
3. Multiplication: 1/2 * 25 = 12.5
Now the equation looks like this: 50 = 12.5
As you see, the left side of the equation (50) does not equal the right side (12.5). Therefore, the equation is not correct. If the intent was to solve for a variable or correct the equation, additional information or a different equation would be required.
