Answer / Step-by-step explanation:
4 * (2 + 3) - 12
To get our final answer, we need to follow PEMDAS, which is :
Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiply
Divide
Addition
Subtraction
These mean that this is the order you will solve by what is in the question, let us start with the parenthesis.
(2 + 3) fits this description, therefore we add them together :
4 * 5 - 12
There are no more parenthesis and also no more exponents, so move onto multiplying.
4 * 5 - 12
20 - 12
Now subtract :
