Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:01 Multiplication and division operations precede addition and subtraction
00:13 Addition and subtraction - solve from left to right

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we must first place the multiplication and division exercises within parentheses:

2(6:2)+(5×2)= 2-(6:2)+(5\times2)=

We then solve the exercise inside of the parentheses:

6:2=3 6:2=3

5×2=10 5\times2=10

We obtain the following exercise:

23+10= 2-3+10=

Finally we solve the exercise from left to right:

23=1 2-3=-1

1+10=9 -1+10=9

Answer
