5+3x2-4/2

hero (hero):

I assume you mean \[5 + 3 \times 2 - 4 \div 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats what I mean

hero (hero):

Okay, well first since we must multiply and divide from left to right, put those in parentheses so that you don't confuse yourself. Then proceed to do those operations first. \[5 + (3 \times 2) - (4 \div 2)\]

hero (hero):

After you do what's in the parentheses first, then add and subtract from left to right.
