Simplify:
7x × (8-3) ÷ 5 = ______.
7x
\(56x - \frac{\mathrm{3} }{\mathrm{5} } \)
x
35x
Detailed Explanation
Simplify by using the order of operations. It’s easy to do if you remember the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
\(7x(8 - 3) \div 5 = 56x - 21x \div 5\)
\(= 35x \div 5 = 7x\)
