Question

10-24/6+8-5

Please help I'm so lost

I did 10-24/6+8-5
24/6
10-4+8-5
10-12-5
-2-5
-7


The answer is supposed to be 9
But how

Answer 1

10-4+8-5

Answer 2

you did the order of operations incorrectly. Addition and subtraction have the same level of priority so you should perform whichever one comes first. In this case:

10-4+8-5 ---> 6+8-5
