Given w = 10, what is the answer to w + (w - 12 : 2^ 2• 3) • 7?

The answer would be 17

17

Step-by-step explanation:

just change all the w's to 10's and evaluate!

w + (w - 12 : 2*2 * 3) * 7

10 + (10 - 12 : 2*2 * 3) * 7

Now, do any multiplications or division left-to-right before any additions or subtractions.

10 + (10-6*2*3) * 7

10 + (10-12*3) * 7

10 + (10-36) * 7

10 + (-26) * 7

10-182

-172

Sadly, that is not one of the choices. So they probably meant

10 + (10 - 12 : (2*2) * 3) * 7

10 + (10 - 12 : 4 * 3) * 7

10 + (10 - 3 * 3) * 7

10 + (10-9) * 7

10+1*7

10+7
