Simplify: 17 + 9 × 4 − 45 ÷ 5
A. 46
B. 62
C. 95
D. 44✓ Correct Answer
💡 Solution & Explanation
Follow BODMAS: division and multiplication come before addition and subtraction. First 45 ÷ 5 = 9 and 9 × 4 = 36. Then 17 + 36 − 9 = 44. Working simply from left to right would give the wrong value, because it adds 17 and 9 before multiplying.
