Replace letters with their defined mathematical operators first, then strictly follow the BODMAS rule (Division, then Multiplication, then Addition, then Subtraction).
Replace letters with their defined mathematical operators first, then strictly follow the BODMAS rule (Division, then Multiplication, then Addition, then Subtraction).
Mapping Operators
Replace letters with mathematical symbols: A = -, B = *, C = /, D = +. The equation becomes: 23 + 18 / 3 * 5 - 17 =?.
Applying BODMAS
A: 26 is incorrect as the calculation results in 36. B: 46 is incorrect as it ignores the BODMAS order of operations. D: 56 is incorrect as it incorrectly applies subtraction before division and multiplication.
C is correct because applying BODMAS rules (23 + 18/3 * 5 - 17 = 23 + 6 * 5 - 17 = 23 + 30 - 17 = 36) results in 36.
Always handle the division (C) and multiplication (B) segments first as a single group (18/3 * 5 = 30) before moving to addition and subtraction to avoid common errors.
