We must multiply and divide before adding and subtracting here. Working from left to right, we get:

8 + 15 - 5 = ?

8 + 10 = ?

You have to use PEMDAS


Parentheses \\ Exponents \\ Multiplication \\ Division \\ Addition \\ Subtraction

You have to do the division and multiplication first.


3 * 5 = 15 \\ 20 / 4 = 5

The new equation is:


8+15-5

First do the addition in the beginning:


15 + 8 = 23

At last, subtract 5


23 - 5 = 18

Your answer is 18
