Answer:

Multiply 10 and 2.

Explanation:

Let's use the order of operations to solve:

122+10x2-(9+6)÷5

122+10x2-15÷5

122+20-15÷5

122+20-3

142-3

=139.

139 is your answer.

Formula Used:

P-Simplify the parentheses first

E-Simplify the exponents next.

M+D-Multiply and Divide whatever is closest to the left.
