To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).

First, we evaluate any expressions within parentheses. There are no parentheses in this expression.

Next, we perform any exponentiation. In this case, we have 6^2, which equals 36.

Then, we perform any multiplication or division from left to right. We have -2 multiplied by 3, which equals -6.

So far, the expression becomes: 18 - 6 + 36/2.

Next, we perform any addition or subtraction from left to right. We find that 18 - 6 equals 12.

Finally, we have 36 divided by 2, which equals 18.

Thus, the simplified expression is: 12 + 18.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the simplification.

To simplify the expression 18 − 2⋅3 + 6^2/2, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).

First, we evaluate any exponentiation. 6^2 means 6 multiplied by itself, so 6^2 equals 36.

Next, we perform any multiplication or division from left to right. We have 2 multiplied by 3, which equals 6.

Now, the expression becomes 18 - 6 + 36/2.

Next, we perform the division. 36 divided by 2 equals 18.

Now, the expression is 18 - 6 + 18.

Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right. 18 - 6 equals 12, and 12 + 18 equals 30.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 30.
