Final answer:
The expression 5 + 8 ( 5 x 13 ) - 3 equals 522 after following the order of operations. The result is 522 which is not listed in the options, so the correct choice is 'd. None of the above'.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to evaluate the expression 5 + 8 ( 5 x 13 ) - 3. To solve this, we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS or BIDMAS, which stands for Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Indices, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
- First, we solve any expressions inside parentheses. In this case, there is a multiplication inside the parentheses: 5 x 13 = 65.
- Next, we multiply 8 by the result of the expression inside the parentheses: 8 x 65 = 520.
- Then, we perform addition and subtraction from left to right: 5 + 520 - 3.
- Adding 5 + 520 gives 525.
- Finally, subtracting 3 from 525 gives 522.
Therefore, the correct evaluation of the expression is 522, which matches none of the options provided in the question, so the answer should be represented as 'd. None of the above'.
