Math Problem Statement
10 - 3 × (5 - 2)
Solution
To solve the expression , follow the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (from left to right), Addition/Subtraction (from left to right)).
-
First, simplify inside the parentheses: So the expression becomes:
-
Next, perform the multiplication: Now the expression is:
-
Finally, subtract:
Thus, the result is .
