Answer 1

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

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 8 ⋅ 3

First, we perform the multiplication:

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 24

Next, we perform the division:

6 + 26 - 24

Now, we do the addition:

32 - 24

Finally, we do the subtraction:

8

Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
