Answer 1

To simplify the expression using PEMDAS, we start by performing the multiplication and division operations first, and then the addition and subtraction operations.

72 ÷ 12 + 26 − 8 ⋅ 3

First, we multiply 8 ⋅ 3:

= 72 ÷ 12 + 26 − 24

Next, we perform the division operation:

= 6 + 26 − 24

Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction operations from left to right:

= 32 - 24

= 8

So, the simplified expression is 8.
