SOLUTION: Define a new operation A*B = (A + B) � B. For example, 2 * 3 = 15. Evaluate (3*5)*7.

SOLUTION: Define a new operation AB = (A + B) � B. For example, 2 3 = 15. Evaluate (35)7.

Question 327093: Define a new operation A*B = (A + B) � B. For example, 2 * 3 = 15. Evaluate (3*5)*7.

So order of operations tells us that we need to perform the operation in parentheses first. Se we will calculate (3*5).
A * B = (A + B) � B
3 * 5 = (3 + 5) � 5
3 * 5 = (8) � 5
3 * 5 = 40
Now we plug in 40 into the orginal equation and then follow the same steps:
(3*5)*7
(40)*7
A * B = (A + B) � B
40 * 7 = (40 + 7) � 7
40 * 7 = (47) � 7
40 * 7 = 329
So (3*5)*7 = 329
