order of operations (the way I was taught):

PEMDAS: parentheses, exponents, multiplication AND division, addition AND subtraction.

 

Final answer: 7

 

In this problem, we only have multiplication, addition, and subtraction.

 

First, do 4/2=2.

=17-12+2

 

Then, do 17-12.

=5+2

 

=7

 

 

You can solve this very easily with the Home Page Calculator. 

 

Hope this helped!

Is it (17-12)+(4/2), ((17-12)+4)/2, (17-(12+4))/2, 17-(12+(4/2)), or 17-((12+4)/2). I'll solve all five.

 

(17-12)+(4/2)                               ((17-12)+4)/2                                                       17-(12+(4/2))

(17-12)       +(4/2)       17-12=5    ((17-12)+4)      /2        (17-12)+4=5+4=9             17-        (12+(4/2))    (12+(4/2))=12+2=14

(5)        +(4/2)       4/2=2              9/2                                                                        17-14              17-14=3

5+2                   5+2=7                 ((17-12)+4)/2=9/2                                                17-(12+4/2)=3

7

(17-12)+(4/2)=7

 

(17-(12+4))/2                                                                         17-((12+4)/2)

(17-   (12+4)   )    /2                 12+4=16                                17-   (   (12+4)   /2)                 12+4=16

(17-16)     /2                        17-16=1                                      17-     (16/2)                  16/2=8

1/2                                                                                          17-8                            17-8=9

(17-(12+4))/2=1/2                                                                   9

                                                                                               17-((12+4)/2)=9

 

(17-(12+4))/2=1/2, 17-((12+4)/2)=9, (17-12)+(4/2)=7, ((17-12)+4)/2=9/2, and 17-(12+4/2)=3.
