The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation `5 ÷ 6 × 3 + 4 - 2` with the operations represented as follows: - '+' represents '-' - '-' represents '÷' - '÷' represents '×' - '×' represents '+' we will first replace the operations in the equation according to the given representations. ### Step 1: Replace the operations The original equation is: `5 ÷ 6 × 3 + 4 - 2` Replacing the operations: - `5 ÷ 6` becomes `5 × 6` - `× 3` becomes `+ 3` - `+ 4` becomes `- 4` - `- 2` becomes `÷ 2` So, the transformed equation will be: `5 × 6 + 3 - 4 ÷ 2` ### Step 2: Solve the transformed equation using BODMAS/BIDMAS rules Now we will solve the equation step by step according to the BODMAS/BIDMAS rules (Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction): 1. **Perform Division**: - `4 ÷ 2 = 2` Now the equation looks like: `5 × 6 + 3 - 2` 2. **Perform Multiplication**: - `5 × 6 = 30` Now the equation looks like: `30 + 3 - 2` 3. **Perform Addition**: - `30 + 3 = 33` Now the equation looks like: `33 - 2` 4. **Perform Subtraction**: - `33 - 2 = 31` ### Final Answer The final answer is: `31`
