This is an order of operations problem.

37 - 5/2 + 4 * 3.

Think PEMDAS, which means parentheses and exponents come first, then multiplication and division, and the last operations to be performed are addition and subtraction.

In this problem, divide 5 and 2, then multiply 4 and 3, so...

37 - 2.5 + 12

Now there is only addition and subtraction, so finish the problem by performing these operations from left to right.

34.5 + 12

ANS: 46.5
