The formula works out to D. 11
We are given the values of the variables so we can rewrite the formula as:
= a2 + 3b ÷ c - 2d
= 3² + (3 × 8) ÷ 2 - (2 × 5)
= 9 + 24 ÷ 2 - 10
At this point, PEMDAS then kicks in where division will be done before subtraction and addition. Then the first operation between addition and subtraction will be done:
= 9 + 24 ÷ 2 - 10
= 9 + 12 - 10
= 21 - 10
= 11
In conclusion, the value of the above formula comes out to 11.
