Answer 1

Using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction):

First, we perform the multiplication: 8 * 3 = 24.

Next, we perform the division: 72 / 12 = 6.

Now, we simplify the expression: 6 + 26 - 24.

Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction: 6 + 26 - 24 = 8.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
