Exponents
Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Multiplication should be done first, then division, and finally addition.

Starting with multiplication: 12 × 2 = 24.

Next, division: 18 ÷ 3 = 6.

Finally, addition: 24 + 6 = 30.

So, 12 × 2 + 18 ÷ 3 equals 30.
