Answer:

7

Explanation:

2 x (3-1) + 3

Evaluate using PEMDAS

Parenthesis

Exponents

Math and Division ( left to right )

Addition and Subtraction ( left to right )

2 x (3-1) + 3

According to PEMDAS we do the operations inside of the parenthesis first

3 - 1 = 2

We now have: 2 x 2 + 3

Next we do exponents

There are no exponents so let's move on to multiplication and division

There is indeed multiplication so we do it

2 x 2 = 4

We now have: 4 + 3

Finally we do the addition

4 + 3 = 7

The answer is 7
