Answer:
10
Skills needed: Order of Operations
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, we need to understand Order of operations.
It is known as PEMDAS
Parentheses First
Exponents Second
Multiplication Division Third
Addition Subtraction Fourth
(For: Multiplication and Division --> The order is whatever comes first when going Left to Right -- This same rule applies for Addition and Subtraction)
2) First, we need to solve the stuff inside the parentheses. Let's solve the fraction first since fraction = division.
---> [tex]\frac{12}{2}=12\div2=6[/tex]
---> New equation: [tex]5*4-(4+6)[/tex]
3) Let's do the addition now:
[tex]5*4-10[/tex]
4) Next, let's do the multiplication:
[tex]20-10[/tex]
5) Next, we just subtract: [tex]20-10=10[/tex]
10 is the answer
