Given three int variables with the values a = 5, b = 7, and c = 12, what is the value of z after the following statement is executed? int z = (a * b - c) / a;
A) 0
B) 4
C) 5
D) -5
E) 23

Using the order of operations, we first evaluate a * b which is 35. We then subtract c, giving us 23. Finally, we divide by a which is 5.

(35 - 12) / 5 = 23 / 5 = 4.6

Since z is an int variable, it will be truncated to the nearest integer, which in this case is 4. Therefore, the value of z is 4.
