Use order of operations to solve: 15:5+6 - (12:6) =

the answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the order of operation is

P = parentheses

E = exponent

M = multiplication

D = division

A = addition

s = subtraction

so that means first you do what is in the () so 12: 6 = 2

now the next step would be divisions so that mean 15 : 5 = 3

now we have to put these two answers back in to the equation 3+6 - (2) then add 3 and 6 you should get 9 now subtract 2 and you get 7

7

Step-by-step explanation:

15/5+6 - (12/6)

15/5+6 - (2)

3+6-2

9-2
