Solve. 24 - (8 ÷ 2) + 6 =

24 - (8 ÷ 2) + 6 =

24 - 4 + 6 = ?

14. My answer is 14, but my answer key says 26!!

How did you get 14?

Oh...I got it

To solve this equation, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction).

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Now, substitute the simplified value back into the original equation:

24 - 4 + 6 =

Next, perform the remaining addition and subtraction from left to right:

24 - 4 + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26

Therefore, the solution to the equation is 26.
