(thank you :) )

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

Using order of operations to solve the expression:

Step 1: any terms in parenthesis

(13-8)=5

The expression becomes 5(5)-3*7+3

Step 2: any exponents

There are no exponents so the expression doesn't change.

Step 3: multiplication or division

5(5)=25

3*7=21

The expression becomes 25-21+3

Step 4: addition or subtraction

25-21+3=7

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

5(5)-3x7+3 Due to parenthesis you need to multiply 5 to 13-8 (which is 5) first.

25-3x7+3 Now you need to multiply 3 and 7 before anything else

25-21+3 now since its just subtraction and addition you go from left to right

4+3
