• A. 24
• B. 26
• C. 25
• D. 22

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 24

let's solve this problem by substituting the given symbols with the corresponding mathematical operations and then evaluating the expression using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

1. Substitute the symbols:

The given equation is:

3 B 41 A 3 D 34 C 17 = ?

Substituting the symbols:

3 × 41 ÷ 3 − 34 + 17 = ?

2. Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

• Parentheses / Brackets

• Exponents / Orders

• Multiplication and Division (from left to right)

• Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

3. Perform the calculations:

• Multiplication: 3 × 41 = 123

  • The equation now is: 123 ÷ 3 − 34 + 17 = ?

• Division: 123 ÷ 3 = 41

  • The equation now is: 41 − 34 + 17 = ?

• Subtraction: 41 − 34 = 7

  • The equation now is: 7 + 17 = ?

• Addition: 7 + 17 = 24

Therefore, the answer is 24
