What is the answer to this equation? and if you can, find a way to show your work.

27/ (3+6) x 5 - 12

27/9 x 5 - 12

3 x 5 - 12

15 - 12

3

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS. do what is in parenthesis first, then divide/multiply, reading from left to right, then add/subtract reading from left to right.

The answer to this problem is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we will need to use the PEMDAS method. If you do not already know, PEMDAS stands for P(arentheses) E(xponents) M(ultiplication) D(ivision) A(ddition) S(ubtraction)

Step 1: If referencing to the PEMDAS method, we know the first thing to solve in this equation is what is inside the parentheses:

27 ÷ (3+6) x 5 - 12

27 ÷ (9) x 5 - 12

Step 2: As you can clearly see, we do not have and exponents, meaning that the E in the PEMDAS method can be skipped over. The next thing that we move onto is multiplication and division. This part of the method is complete from left to right of the problem, regardless of the sign, as demonstrated below:

27 ÷ (9) x 5 - 12

3 x 5 - 12

15 - 12

Step 3: The last part of the PEMDAS method to be completed is addition and subtraction. This section of the method is carried out the same way as the multiplication and division part of the method is:

15 - 12 = 3

As said above, your final answer is 3. I hope this helped :)
