Use PEMDAS to simplify: 72÷12+26−8⋅3 .

1 answer

To simplify the expression using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right), we start with the multiplication and division:

72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 8 × 3

= 6 + 26 - 8 × 3

Now we do the multiplication:

= 6 + 26 - 24

Next, we perform the addition:

= 32 - 24

Finally, we do the subtraction:

= 8

Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
