Question

1 - 2 + 5 - 2 + 5 x 2

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

You need to use the order of operations, PEMDAS. It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

First, multiplication on 5x2 so now it is 1-2+5-2+10.

Next, is addition and subtraction. When it says left to right you are starting with the part of the equation closest to the left, so 1-2=-1. Then add five to get 4. Subtract 2 to get 2. Finally, add 10 to get 12.

Hope you get an A! <3

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Following PEMDAS, I’ll solve the multiplication first and then add or subtract the values from left to right.

1-2+5-2+5x2

1-2+5-2+10

-1+5-2+10

4-2+10

2+10
