Hey there!

7 + 5(3) - ( 6 - 2) ÷ 2

Let's do PEMDAS to solve this equation!

First step: parentheses → 6 - 2 = 4, right?

Your problem becomes: 7 + 5 (3) - 4

The next step usually would be "e" for the exponents but since we don't have any, we have to move onto Multiplication

5(3) = 15, right?

We have division but we can save that for the last ( you don't have to do this method to solve this equation, by the way!)

Problem becomes: 7 + 15 - 4

Next, we do addition

7 + 15 = 22, right?

Your problem becomes: 22 - 4

Next we do subtraction

22 - 4 = 18, right?

Now we can do division


(18)/(2) = 9


Answer: 9

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
