Answer:
23, 5, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Following the order of operations as stated in PEMDAS , then
(a)
5 + 2 × 3² ← evaluate exponent
= 5 + 2 × 9 ← perform multiplication
= 5 + 18 ← perform addition
= 23
---------------------------------------
(b)
[tex]\frac{7+8}{5-2}[/tex] ← perform calculations on numerator/denominator
= [tex]\frac{15}{3}[/tex] ← perform division
= 5
-------------------------------------------
(c)
[tex]\frac{18-3(2)}{5-1^2}[/tex] ← evaluate numerator/denominator using PEMDAS
= [tex]\frac{18-6}{5-1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
= 3
