Question

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:
\[
\boxed{2}
\]
