3 * 2 - 6 div 3 = color(blue)43⋅2−6÷3=4

Explanation:

Following the PEDMAS rule
Division and Multiplication are done (from left to right) before Subtraction,
so
color(white)("XXX")underbrace(3 * 2) - 6div 3
becomes
color(white)("XXX")6 -underbrace(6div3)
then
color(white)("XXX")underbrace(6-2)
and finally
color(white)("XXX")4

Explanation:

Remember BODMAS for the sequence of operations:
Brackets
Orders ( like square roots and powers)
Division
Multiliplication
Addition
Subtraction

1st: Division 6/3 = 2
Equation is now: 3*2-2
2nd Multiplication: 3*2 = 6
Finally subtraction: 6-2 =4
