BODMAS RULE

B-brackets
O-of
D-division
m-multiplication
A-addition
S-subtraction

first you group them following the rule.you start with multiplication which comes first in order of the rule.
5+(3*4)-2

you evaluate the problem in brackets
3*4=12
youevaluate for addition
( 5+12)-2
5+12=17

then subtraction
17-2=15

answer=15

pls children you should now this
bodmas if you now this you can solve any problem
for this ---
B= BRACKETS
O= OF
D= DIVISION
M= MULTIPICATION
A= ADDITION
S= SUBTRACTION

SO IN THE WAY OF BODMAS RULE WE CAN SOLVE THIS QUESTION
5+[3*4]-2=
we have multiplyed first bcause m comes first from a addition and subtraction
5+12 -2
now we add because addition comes first from subtraction
17-2
now we would do subtraction because it comes in the end
therefore the answer is 15.

KEiko's answer was good. To avoid confusion restate the problem as

5 + (3*4) - 2
