Elena and jorge have similar problems and find the same answer. each determines that the solution to the problem is 24.

elena: (14 + 42) ÷ 7 + 4²
jorge: 14 + (42 ÷ 7) + 4²

a. evaluate each expression to determine if both elena and jorge are correct.
b. why would each find the solution of 24? what mistakes were made, if any?

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
