The correct answer is
70

Equation Solving with Symbol Substitution

The problem requires solving a mathematical equation by replacing given symbols with their corresponding mathematical operators.

The given substitutions are:

  • 'A' = '÷'
  • 'B' = 'x'
  • 'C' = '+'
  • 'D' = '-'

The equation is: \(22 B 108 A 12 C 43 D 171 = ?\)

Applying Symbol Substitutions

Substitute the symbols in the equation with the operators:

\(22 × 108 ÷ 12 + 43 - 171 = ?\)

Order of Operations (BODMAS) Calculation

To find the value of '?', we apply the BODMAS rule (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) from left to right.

  1. Division and Multiplication (from left to right):
    • First, perform the multiplication: \(22 × 108 = 2376\). The equation becomes \(2376 ÷ 12 + 43 - 171 = ?\)
    • Next, perform the division: \(2376 ÷ 12 = 198\). The equation becomes \(198 + 43 - 171 = ?\)
  2. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right):
    • First, perform the addition: \(198 + 43 = 241\). The equation becomes \(241 - 171 = ?\)
    • Finally, perform the subtraction: \(241 - 171 = 70\).

Therefore, the value of '?' is 70.
