Solve the Expression: 2+3-15÷3×4+6 Using Order of Operations

Complete the exercise:

$2+3-15:3\times4+6=$

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

$2+3-(15:3\times4)+6=$

We then solve the exercise within the parentheses from left to right:

$15:3=5$

$5\times4=20$

After which we are left with the following exercise:

$2+3-20+6=$

Lastly we solve the exercise from left to right:

$2+3=5$

$5-20=-15$

$-15+6=-9$
