Question

How do you evaluate `3*2-6div3`?

Answer 1

`3 * 2 - 6 div 3 = color(blue)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`

Answer 2

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`
