Answer to Problem 7P

The value of the expression $5+3\left(2\right)$ is $11$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The expression $5+3\left(2\right)$

Concept and Formula Used:

Rule of exponent and addition and subtraction.

  $a^n=a\times a\times a\times \mathrm{..................}n\text{ times,}\sqrt[n]{a}={\left(a\right)}^{\frac{1}{n}}\&{\left(a^m\right)}^n=a^{mn}$

Order of operation.

Calculation:

The given expression is

  $\begin{array}{l}5+3\left(2\right)\\ \text{Multiply the expression }\\ 5+3\left(2\right)=5+6\\ 5+3\left(2\right)=11\left(\text{Add the numbers and simplify}\right)\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The value of the expression $5+3\left(2\right)$ is $11$
