To simplify 12−23+4÷2+24, we follow the order of operations:

Step 1: Begin with 4 ÷ 2, which equals 2.

12−23+2+24

Step 2: Subtract 23 from 12, which equals -11.

-11+2+24

Step 3: Add -11 and 2, which equals -9.

-9+24

Step 4: Finally, add -9 and 24, which equals 15.

The simplified expression is 15.
Not the answer
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's go through the order of operations correctly.

The order of operations, also known as PEMDAS or BIDMAS, states that we should perform operations in the following order: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

12−23+4÷2+24

First, we need to perform the division:

12 - 23 + 2 + 24

Next, we perform the subtraction:

-11 + 2 + 24

Finally, we perform the addition:

-11 + 2 + 24 = 15

Therefore, the simplified expression is 15.
