Step 1: Identify the expression to calculate: 8 + 2 × 5.
Step 2: Remember the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS): Brackets, Orders (powers and roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
Step 3: According to BODMAS, we first do the multiplication: Calculate 2 × 5, which equals 10.
Step 4: Now replace 2 × 5 in the original expression with 10: The expression now looks like this: 8 + 10.
Step 5: Finally, perform the addition: Calculate 8 + 10, which equals 18.
Order of Operations – Understanding the BODMAS/BIDMAS rule, which dictates the order in which operations should be performed in mathematical expressions.
