Use PEMDAS to simplify: 72÷12+26−8⋅3 .
To simplify the expression using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right), we start with the multiplication and division:
72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 8 × 3
= 6 + 26 - 8 × 3
Now we do the multiplication:
= 6 + 26 - 24
Next, we perform the addition:
= 32 - 24
Finally, we do the subtraction:
= 8
Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
