new simplified value.
The original equation now transforms into 15 + 5 * 2.
We have successfully completed the first step of our logical journey.
Step 2: Do the Multiplication Before Addition
Now we are left with two operations: addition and multiplication.
Looking back at the PEMDAS rule, multiplication always comes before addition.
Therefore, we must multiply 5 by 2 before we add the number 15.
Let us multiply 5 by 2, which easily equals 10.
Our expression is now much simpler than when we first started.
It now becomes a straightforward
