1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $10/2 \times 3 - 7$. 2. **Recall the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):** - Perform division and multiplication from left to right. - Then perform addition or subtraction from left to right. 3. **Apply division and multiplication from left to right:** $$10/2 \times 3 = (\cancel{10}/\cancel{2}) \times 3 = 5 \times 3 = 15$$ 4. **Subtract 7:** $$15 - 7 = 8$$ 5. **Final answer:** $$8$$
