Final answer:
The correct answer is option d. The value of the expression is 13 after applying the order of operations. We multiplied 6 by 2, divided 25 by 5, added these results together, and then subtracted 4 to reach our final answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asks for the value of the expression 25 ÷ 5 + (6 × 2) − 4. To solve this problem, we will follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
- First, we solve the expression within the parentheses: (6 × 2) equals 12.
- Next, we will divide 25 by 5: which equals 5.
- We then have the expression 5 + 12 − 4.
- Add 5 and 12 to get 17.
- Finally, subtract 4 from 17 to get 13.
Therefore, the value of the expression is 13. This corresponds to option (d) None of the above since the options provided in the question were a. 7, b. 9, c. 12, and none of them are correct.
