$15 + 5 \div 5 \times 2$
​

Answer 1

Given: A linear equation:

$15 + 5 \div 5 \times 2$

To find: To solve the equation and find the answer.

Solution:

$= 15 + 5 \div 5 \times 2$

Using the BODMAS rule, we first do division, therefore, 5 / 5 = 1

$= 15 + 1 \times 2$

Now, according to the BODMAS rule, we multiply. Here, 1 x 2 = 2. Therefore,

$= 15 + 2$

Now we add 15 and 2

$= 17$

Hence, the answer of the linear equation is 17.

(BODMAS is a rule we use to solve equations that contain more than one type of operators. The BODMAS rule defines the superiority of each operator over the other. The correct chain is: Bracket>Off>Division>Multiplication>Addition>Subtraction.)
