Answer 1

To simplify the expression using PEMDAS, we follow the order of operations:

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 8 x 3

First, we perform the multiplication: 8 x 3 = 24

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 24

Next, we perform the division: 72 ÷ 12 = 6

6 + 26 - 24

Now, we perform the addition: 6 + 26 = 32

32 - 24

Finally, we perform the subtraction: 32 - 24 = 8

Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
