Solving multi-step problems using linear equations in one variable

How can you represent the following problem in an equation: divide -15 by 5 and then add 10 times 2.

•  $\left(-\frac{15}{5}\right)+\left(10\cdot2\right)$  

•  $\frac{\left(-15+10\right)}{5\cdot2}$  

•  $\frac{-15}{5+10\cdot2}$  

•  $\left(-\frac{15}{5}+10\right)\cdot2$
