36 - 2 × 6 + 7 × 4 can be simplified as follows:

First, we perform the multiplication operations:

= 36 - (2 × 6) + (7 × 4)
= 36 - 12 + 28

Next, we perform the addition and subtraction operations from left to right:

= (36 - 12) + 28
= 24 + 28

Finally, we perform the addition operation:

= 52

Therefore, the simplified expression is 52.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's go through the steps again to simplify the expression 36 - 2 × 6 + 7 × 4:

First, we perform the multiplication operations:

= 36 - (2 × 6) + (7 × 4)
= 36 - 12 + 28

Next, we perform the addition and subtraction operations from left to right:

= 36 - 12 + 28
= 24 + 28

Finally, we perform the addition operation:

= 52

Therefore, the simplified expression is indeed 52.
