use pemdas to simplify 72 / 12 + 26 - 8 x 3

Question

A. 8
B. -10
C. 72
D. 56

Answer 1

Let's use PEMDAS to simplify the expression:

72 / 12 + 26 - 8 x 3

First, we perform multiplication and division from left to right:

72 / 12 = 6
8 x 3 = 24

Now, let's rewrite the expression:

6 + 26 - 24

Next, we perform addition and subtraction from left to right:

6 + 26 = 32
32 - 24 = 8

So, the simplified expression is 8.

Therefore, the answer is A. 8.
