Question

Simplify 32 + 6 x 5 -7+12 ÷ 4 A. 38 B. 48.75 C. 52 D. 58

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 58

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplication and division are performed first.

... 32 +6·5 -7 +12/4

... = 32 +30 -7 +3

Then, the Order of Operations tells you to do the addition/subtraction left to right. Of course, if you keep the sign with the number, you can do the addition in any convenient order.

... = 62 -7 +3

... = 55 +3

... = 58
