Apply the BODMAS rule directly: first divide 6 by 3 to get 2, then add the remaining terms (-18 + 2 + 5).
The expression to evaluate is (-18) + 6 / 3 + 5

Apply the BODMAS rule directly: first divide 6 by 3 to get 2, then add the remaining terms (-18 + 2 + 5).
Students often add (-18) and 6 first before dividing, which violates the order of operations (BODMAS).
Apply Division first
According to the BODMAS rule, division must be performed before addition. Perform 6├╖3.
6├╖3=2
Substitute and Add
Substitute the result back into the expression: (тИТ18)+2+5. Now perform the addition from left to right.
тИТ18+2=тИТ16
Final Calculation
Add the final value: тИТ16+5.
тИТ16+5=тИТ11
D is correct because following the BODMAS order of operations yields the final result of -11.
This fundamental rule applies across all arithmetic, algebra, and physics numerical problems; always prioritize division/multiplication before addition/subtraction.
