You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes. I assume you are learning order of operations, so remember
My Dear Aunt Sally - MDAS - Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract so in this case you do the 9 divided by 3 first
4 + 9 / 3 - 2, since 9/3 = 3 this becomes
4 + 3 - 2, Then you do the addition of 4 + 3 = 7, and this becomes
7 - 2
And finally the subtration, 7 - 2 = 5, so it simplifies to
5
