Perform the indicated operation.
26+(-19)+5

Step-by-step explanation:

26+(-19)+5 = 7 + 5          

                 = 12

ANSWER:  

The result of given operation 26+(-19)+5 is 12.

SOLUTION:

Given, expression is 26 + ( -19) + 5

We have to perform the above given operation.

Let us use the BODMAS ( Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction ) rule to perform above given operation.

In BODMAS rule first, the terms in brackets should be evaluated.

Here in our problem, there is only single term in brackets so we can go further in process.

In order, division should be done, but we do not have the operation in our operation. So we can go further.

Next, multiplication has to be done,  

Here in our problem, + is in product with –  

So, 26 + ( -19) + 5 → 26 – 19 + 5

Now, addition operation → 26 -19 + 5 → 26 – 14

Now subtraction operation → 26 – 14 → 12

Hence, the result of given operation is 12.
