what is the value of this expression
15 - 3 + 2 - 9
15 - 3 + 2 - 9
15 + 2 = 17
3 + 9 = 12
17 - 12 = 5
this is multiple choice but 5 is not a choice they are 0, 2, 4 or 8
It looks like there's an error either in the problem or in the answer choices. Check with your instructor.
To find the value of the expression 15 - 3 + 2 - 9, you can follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS):
1. Start by evaluating any operations inside parentheses, but there are none in this expression.
2. Next, perform any calculations involving exponents or higher order operations (such as square roots), but again, there are none in this expression.
3. Move on to multiplication and division, but there are no multiplication or division operations to perform.
4. Finally, perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
Using this order of operations, you can simplify the expression as follows:
15 - 3 + 2 - 9
= 12 + 2 - 9
= 14 - 9
= 5
Therefore, the value of the expression 15 - 3 + 2 - 9 is 5.
