<u>ANSWER: </u>
Division, multiplication, addition is the correct sequence of operations for solving
<u>SOLUTION: </u>
Given, equation is
We need to solve the given equation in correct sequential order.
So, let us follow the BODMAS rule.
BODMAS means sequence of operations are brackets, orders, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction
Now,
As the term in brackets cannot be processed further we can go for next term.
Now the division operation has to be done first according to BODMAS
- 0.125(x+35)= -7
Multiplication comes second in order.
-0.125x+4.375= -7
On rearranging the terms, we get
-0.125x+4.375+7=0
Now perform addition according to BODMAS
-0.125x+11.375=0
0.125x=11.375
Hence division, multiplication, addition is the correct sequence of operations for solving
