Answer:
The first step to solve the expression is to solve () i.e. (10-7) will be solved first.
Step-by-step explanation:
Any algebraic expression is solved as per BODMAS rule i.e. in the following sequential order (one after the other).
B - Bracket i.e. ()
O - Of
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
So, as per BODMAS rule, the bracket i.e. () expression will be solved at first.
Solving the expression:
15 + 20 ÷ (10 – 7) + 12
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] 15 + 20 ÷ 3 + 12
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] 15 + 6.67 + 12
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] 21.67 + 12
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] 33.67
Hence, (10-7) will be evaluated first.
