- 20
- 5
- Not sure.
Correct Answer

A. 5

Explanation

The given expression involves addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Following the order of operations, we first perform the multiplication and division from left to right.

6 multiplied by 5 is 30, and then dividing it by 2 gives us 15.

Next, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right.

2 plus 18 is 20, and then subtracting 15 gives us 5.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

- Not sure.
Correct Answer

A. 0

Explanation

The given expression is 4-2(3-1). To solve this, we first need to calculate the value inside the parentheses, which is (3-1) = 2. Then, we multiply 2 by 2, giving us 4. Finally, we subtract 4 from 4, resulting in 0. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.

Calculate 5-(-5)-7-(-3)=
- 20
- 10
- -5
- 6
- Not sure.
Correct Answer

A. 6

Explanation

The given expression is 5-(-5)-7-(-3). To simplify this expression, we can first remove the double negative signs by changing -(-5) to +5 and -(-3) to +3. This gives us 5+5-7+3. Next, we can combine like terms by adding 5 and 5 to get 10, and subtracting 7 and adding 3 to get 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.
