10 + 7 x 4 + 2 x 2 + 5 - 2 This problem is an order of operations problem Parenthesis ( ) = work out anything in parentheses first Exponents = Work out any exponents in the problem Multiplication and Division can be worked starting from left to right, but you have to complete all operations involving both before you can move to addition Addition and Subtraction can be worked starting from left to right as well So the answer to: 10 + 7 x 4 + 2 x 2 + 5 -2 = 10 + 28 + 4 + 5 - 2 = 47 -2 = 45
