Question

How do you simplify 4 + 12/2 - 3 * 2?

Answer 1

`4 + 12/2 - 3 * 2 = 4`

Explanation:

Remember to use PEMDAS, that is

Parantheses `->` Exponents `->` Multiplication/Division `->` Addition/Subtraction

for your order of doing calculations

So start with working out `12/2` and `3*2`, then put those answers into the calculation.

`4 + 12/2 - 3 * 2 = 4 + cancel(6) - cancel(6) = 4`
