5 + [3 x (4 – 2)] =

The correct answer is: 11

The equation follows the order of operations, which states that multiplication should be performed before addition. Therefore, the parentheses should be simplified first, resulting in 3 x 2 = 6. Then, we can add 5 + 6 to get the final answer of 11. Options A, C and D are incorrect because they do not correctly follow the order of operations. Option A would result in the equation being simplified as 3 x 2 = 6 before adding 5, resulting in 11 instead of 10. Option C would result in the equation being simplified as 4 - 2 = 2 before multiplying by 3, resulting in 10 instead of 12. Option D would result in the equation being simplified as 5 + 3 = 8 before multiplying by 2, resulting in 16 instead of 13. Thus, option B is the
