Evaluate.

50 divided by (5 x 2) + 7

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( 50 \div (5 \times 2) + 7 \), follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right).

  1. First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 5 \times 2 = 10 \]

  2. Now, substitute this back into the expression: \[ 50 \div 10 + 7 \]

  3. Next, perform the division: \[ 50 \div 10 = 5 \]

  4. Finally, add 7 to the result: \[ 5 + 7 = 12 \]

So, the evaluated result is: \[ \boxed{12} \]
