The primary arithmetic rule to apply here is PEMDAS
For starters, you will solve the part of the quiz enclosed in the parenthesis
That is;
(2+1) which gives you 3.
The next step is to solve the multiplication of 7 and 3 (7 x 3), whose solution is 21.
The last step will be adding the two remaining solutions, 5+21= 26.
From the options listed in the quiz, the correct answer should be B! 26!
