Answer:

A:

Multiple: 3 * 5 = 15

Add: 7 + the result of step No. 1 = 7 + 15 = 22

Divide: 4 / 2 = 2

Subtract: the result of step No. 2 - the result of step No. 3 = 22 - 2 = 20

Add: the result of step No. 4 + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23

B:

Add: 7 + 3 = 10

Multiple: the result of step No. 1 * 5 = 10 * 5 = 50

Divide: 4 / 2 = 2

Subtract: the result of step No. 2 - the result of step No. 3 = 50 - 2 = 48

Add: the result of step No. 4 + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51

Answer:

  a) 23

  b) 26

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Perform the multiplication and division first, then the addition.

  7 + 3·5 -4÷2 +3

  = 7 +15 -2 +3

  = 23

__

b) Evaluate parentheses first, then the rest of it. The multiplication and division are done before the addition at the same level.

  ((7 +3)·5 -4)÷2 +3

  = (10·5 -4)÷2 +3

  = (50 -4)÷2 +3

  = 46÷2 +3

  = 23 +3

  = 26

An appropriate calculator can evaluate these for you. The Go.ogle calculator reliably follows the order of operations. You can use an asterisk (*) for multiplication with that calculator.
