Answer:
A) B. 18-6
B) 20÷4
C) 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
The order of operations tells you that the first step is to evaluate any expressions in parentheses. Here, that means you first evaluate (18 -6).
__
Part B
After parentheses have been removed, the next step is to perform multiplication and division. Here, there is only one term involving division, so you divide 20 by 4 as your second step.
__
Part C
After you have done parts A and B, your expression is ...
3 + 12 + 5
The value of this sum is 20.
