Question

Use the order of operations to find the value of the expression.
12÷2×3−(7−5) 12 ÷ 2 × 3 - 7 - 5 (1 point)

Answer 1

First, we need to follow the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

12 ÷ 2 = 6

6 × 3 = 18

Now we have:

18 - (7 - 5)

Next, we need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

7 - 5 = 2

Now we have:

18 - 2

Finally, we subtract to get the final answer:

18 - 2 = 16

Therefore, the value of the expression is 16.
