Evaluate. 36 divided by (3 x 2) - 4

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 36 \div (3 \times 2) - 4 \), we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 3 \times 2 = 6 \]

2. Next, substitute this into the expression: \[ 36 \div 6 - 4 \]

3. Now perform the division: \[ 36 \div 6 = 6 \]

4. Finally, subtract 4 from the result: \[ 6 - 4 = 2 \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{2} \]
