Evaluate the expression: 20 - [5 × (7 + 2) ÷ 3].

Question

LucasMatthewHarris · Answer

To evaluate the expression 20 − [ 5 × ( 7 + 2 ) ÷ 3 ] , we will follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). 
 
 Parentheses 
 
 Start by solving the expression inside the parentheses: 7 + 2 = 9 .

Multiplication 
 
 Next, perform the multiplication: 5 × 9 = 45 .

Division 
 
 Divide the result by 3: 45 ÷ 3 = 15 .

Subtraction 
 
 Finally, subtract the result from 20: 20 − 15 = 5 .

Thus, the value of the expression is 5 .

Evaluate the expression: 20 - [5 × (7 + 2) ÷ 3].
