What's the answer: 5 + 3 x 4 - 2?

5 + 3 x 4 - 2 = 5 + (3 x 4) - 2

= 5 + 12 - 2

= 17 - 2

= 15

P owers

E xponents

M ultiiplication

D ivision

A ddition

S ubtraction

from left to right

so, 3 times 4 is 12

12 + 5 is 17 minus 2 is 15.

BODMAS RULE

B-brackets

O-of

D-division

m-multiplication

A-addition

S-subtraction

first you group them following the rule.you start with multiplication which comes first in order of the rule.

5+(3*4)-2

you evaluate the problem in brackets

3*4=12

youevaluate for addition

( 5+12)-2

5+12=17

then subtraction

17-2=15

answer=15

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. (PEMDAS)

5 + 3 x 4 - 2

Do the multiplication first:

5+12-2

Do the addition next:

17-2

Finally the subtraction:

17-2=15

The answer is 15.

I hope this helps!

pls children you should now this

bodmas if you now this you can solve any problem

for this ---

B= BRACKETS

O= OF

D= DIVISION

M= MULTIPICATION

A= ADDITION

S= SUBTRACTION

SO IN THE WAY OF BODMAS RULE WE CAN SOLVE THIS QUESTION

5+[3*4]-2=

we have multiplyed first bcause m comes first from a addition and subtraction

5+12 -2

now we add because addition comes first from subtraction

17-2

now we would do subtraction because it comes in the end

therefore the answer is 15.

5 + 3 x 4 - 2

5 + 12 - 2

17 - 2

15

The answer is 15

- - - - - -s-

5+3=8x4=32-2=30

KEiko's answer was good. To avoid confusion restate the problem as

5 + (3*4) - 2

5+3=8x4=32-2=30

so 30 is the answer

5+3=8*4=32-2=30

or 5+12-2=15

or 5+3(4-2)=5+6 =11

you pays your money and takes your choice

i hope that this helps
