Now that we've convinced you on the importance of math, do you think you can do a little mathematical warm up?

Don't be scared, it's not a hard one. Here's the question:

12*(53-48) - 84:7=?

Did you get it? Or are you just a little confused?

If you got it, you deserve a big thumbs up and if you didn't, don't be scared you get a thumbs up, too, because you just gave your brain a good workout.

Here's how to solve it. First off, you have to remember and follow the rule of PEMDAS, an acronym for solving equations that stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

• You start with 53-48 =5

• The next step is to multiply 12 by 5, which makes 60

• You're almost done! You then move on to dividing 84 by 7, which is 12

• Lastly, you subtract 12 from 60 which is 48!

Voila, we are done. Easy right?
