Solution
The expression should be evaluated following the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
The expression is: x = 10 + 3 * 4 / 2 - 1
First, perform the multiplication and division from left to right:
= 10 + 12 / 2 - 1 = 10 + 6 - 1
Then, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
= 16 - 1 = 15
So, the value of x will be 15.
