Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To simplify \( 9 - 12 \div 3 \), follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), addition and subtraction (from left to right)).

1. First, perform the division:
\[
12 \div 3 = 4
\]

2. Then, substitute back into the expression:
\[
9 - 4
\]

3. Finally, perform the subtraction:
\[
9 - 4 = 5
\]

So, the simplified result is \( 5 \).
