Evaluate 12 ÷ (-3)(2) + 5-133-3

Answer 1

The question would like us to evaluate the following:

`12÷-3\left(2\right)+5`

- The solution is given below:

`\begin{gathered} 12/(-3)(2)+5 \\ \text{ Perform the division first before multiplication because we move from left to right when} \\ division\text{ and multiplication are together} \\ 12/(-3)=-4 \\ \\ Thus,\text{ we have} \\ 12/(-3)(2)+5=-4(2)+5 \\ \\ -4(2)+5=-8+5 \\ \\ =-3 \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

The answer is -3
