Math Problem Statement

7-5×(-3)

Solution

Let's solve the expression:

75×(3)7 - 5 \times (-3)

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction):

  1. First, perform the multiplication: 5×(3)=155 \times (-3) = -15

  2. Now, subtract: 7(15)=7+15=227 - (-15) = 7 + 15 = 22

So, the result is:

22\boxed{22}

Would you like further explanation or have any questions? Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would the result change if the multiplication was positive instead of negative?
  2. What is the order of operations, and why is it important?
  3. Can you solve 75×37 - 5 \times 3 without parentheses?
  4. How does multiplication with negative numbers affect an expression?
  5. What happens if we have multiple operations with different signs?

Tip: Always handle multiplication before addition or subtraction in an expression!
