Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Always solve parentheses first
00:11 Always divide before addition/subtraction
00:21 Calculate the parentheses
00:25 Continue solving according to correct order of operations
00:28 0 divided by any number always equals 0
00:31 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Simplifying this expression emphasizes the order of operations, which states that multiplication precedes addition and subtraction, and that division precedes all of them,

In the given expression, the establishment of division operations between the parentheses (the outermost) to a number, therefore according to the order of operations as mentioned, is handled by simplifying the expression in these parentheses, this expression includes division operations that begin on the expression within the parentheses (the innermost), therefore according to the order of operations as mentioned is handled by simplifying the expression in these parentheses and performing the subtraction operations in it, there is no hindrance to calculate the outcome of the division operations in the expression in the outermost parentheses, but for the sake of good order this is done afterwards:

[(4+3):7+2:22]:5=[7:7+2:22]:5 \lbrack(4+3):7+2:2-2\rbrack:5= \\ \lbrack7:7+2:2-2\rbrack:5 Continuing and simplifying the expression in the parentheses we noted, since division precedes addition and subtraction, start with the division operations in the expression and only then calculate the outcome of the addition and subtraction, ultimately perform the division operations on this expression in the parentheses:

[7:7+2:22]:5[1+12]:5=0:5=0 \lbrack7:7+2:2-2\rbrack:5 \\ \lbrack1+1-2\rbrack:5=\\ 0:5=\\0 In the last stage we mentioned that multiplying a number by 0 gives the result 0,

Therefore, this simplifying expression is short so there is no need to elaborate,

And the correct answer here is answer A.
