33

Simplifying the Arithmetic Expression

To simplify the expression \(125 ÷ 25 × 6 + 12 − 9\), we follow the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS): Brackets/Parentheses, Orders/Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Step 1: Division

Perform the division first as it appears before multiplication when reading from left to right.

Use LaTeX for the calculation: \( 125 \div 25 = 5 \)

The expression becomes: \(5 × 6 + 12 − 9\)

Step 2: Multiplication

Next, perform the multiplication.

Use LaTeX for the calculation: \( 5 \times 6 = 30 \)

The expression is now: \(30 + 12 − 9\)

Step 3: Addition

Perform addition next, as it appears before subtraction from left to right.

Use LaTeX for the calculation: \( 30 + 12 = 42 \)

The expression simplifies to: \(42 − 9\)

Step 4: Subtraction

Finally, perform the subtraction.

Use LaTeX for the calculation: \( 42 - 9 = 33 \)

The simplified value of the expression is 33.
