Solve the Expression: 7+3×7-3×4+5 Using Order of Operations

Complete the exercise:

$7+3\times7-3\times4+5=$

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

$7+(3\times7)-(3\times4)+5=$

We then proceed to solve the exercise inside of the parentheses:

$3\times7=21$

$3\times4=12$

We obtain the following exercise:

$7+21-12+5=$

Lastly we solve the exercise from left to right:

$21+7=28$

$28-12=16$

$16+5=21$
