Question 1 of 9Evaluate the expression and enter your answer in the box below.-5. (5 + 7) + 215 / 5

The Solution:
Given the expression below:
[tex]-5\cdot(5+7)+\frac{215}{5}[/tex]We are asked to evaluate the above expression.
Applying BODMAS in the order of arithmetic operations, we shall handle the bracket first
[tex]\begin{gathered} -5\cdot(5+7)+\frac{215}{5} \\ \\ -5\cdot11+\frac{215}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the division, so that we get
[tex]-5\cdot11+43[/tex]Then the multiplication, so that we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} (-5.11)+43 \\ -55+43 \\ -12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answer is -12
