Question: 1 / 400

What is the value of the expression 7 + 5 × 2?

17

12

To find the value of the expression 7 + 5 × 2, it is important to apply the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

According to this rule, multiplication comes before addition. Therefore, we first perform the multiplication in the expression:

5 × 2 = 10

Next, we add this result to 7:

7 + 10 = 17

Thus, the correct value of the expression is 17. Therefore, the answer is not 12, as stated previously. Instead, the final result, 17, aligns with the mathematical principles governing the order of operations.
