Question

How do you evaluate `3(7-5)+\frac{12}{3}`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Using the PEDMAS order of operation, first execute the Subtraction operation within the Parenthesis:

`3(color(red)(7) - color(red)(5)) + 12/3`

`3(2) + 12/3`

Next, execute the Multiplication and Division operations;

`color(red)(3)(color(red)(2)) + color(blue)(12)/color(blue)(3) => 6 + 4`

Now, execute the Addition operation:

`6 + 4 = 10`
