Follow Order of Operations: First, we need to follow the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS. In the given expression 5×2+12+6, we have multiplication and addition. According to PEMDAS, we should perform the multiplication first. So, we calculate 5×2.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication from Step 1. We have 5×2 which equals 10. Now the expression becomes 10+12+6.
Perform Addition: Next, we perform the addition. We add the numbers in the expression from left to right. First, we add 10 and 12, which equals 22.
Final Addition: Now we add the result from Step 3 to the remaining number in the expression. We have 22+6, which equals 28.
