Given the equation:
12 + 10 ÷ 2 − 3
Evaluate the equation.
Solution:
In order to evaluate the equation, we simply need to apply the rules of PEMDAS, which means that we need to start with the parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, and then lastly, subtraction. In our case, since we do not have exponent, parenthesis, and multiplication, we start first by division.
= 12 + 10 ÷ 2 − 3
= 12 + 5 - 3
= 17 - 3
= 14
Final answer:
= 14
