You would need to do order of operations. So, first find the square root of 9 [tex] \sqrt{9} = 3[/tex] Then you would rewrite the equation [tex]5(4) + 3 - 12[/tex] Then you would multiply 4 times 5 [tex]4 \times 5 = 20[/tex] Then you would rewrite the equation [tex]20 + 3 - 12[/tex] Now work from left to right to solve. [tex]20 + 3 = 23[/tex] Rewrite the equation
[tex]33 - 12 = 11[/tex] So the answer to the equation is. [tex]11[/tex]
