Arithmetic Evaluation
1. Problem: Evaluate $8\times 3 - 3\times 5 + \dfrac{45}{15}$.
2. Formula and rules: Use the order of operations (PEMDAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division evaluated left to right, then Addition and Subtraction evaluated left to right.
3. Identify operations: The expression contains two multiplications and one division and no parentheses or exponents.
4. Compute multiplications and the division first, evaluating left to right.
- Compute $8\times 3 = 24$.
- Compute $3\times 5 = 15$.
- Compute $\dfrac{45}{15} = 3$.
5. Substitute the computed values into the expression to get $24 - 15 + 3$.
6. Evaluate left to right: $24 - 15 = 9$.
7. Then compute $9 + 3 = 12$.
8. Final answer: The value of the expression is $12$.
