Given the equation:
5 + 3(5) - 5(4 - 2)
Simplify the equation.
Solution:
In order to simplify the equation, we must apply the rules of PEMDAS, which states that we need to start first with the parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, and then lastly subtraction. In our case, we start first by equating the values inside the parenthesis.
= 5 + 3(5) - 5(4 - 2)
= 5 + 15 - 5 (2)
= 5 + 15 - 10
= 10
Final answer:
= 10
