10÷2×18-5. Please correctly solve my problem!

Question

This is PEMDAS the Order of Operations not just adding and subtracting.

Answer 1

Mikaila is right.

So, 10/2 is done first.

You now have 5(18) -5

Multiplication is now done, giving 90 - 5

and your final answer is 85.

Answer 2

The rule of PEMDAS is to evaluate

1. Parentheses

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication and Division from left to right (They have the same level of importance. You complete whichever one you see first. If the problem says 8 * 6 / 12 * 2, then you evaluate 8*6, which is 48, then divide by 12, which is 4, then multiply by 2.)

4. Addition and Subtraction from left to right. (They also have the same level of importance.)
