To simplify the expression 18 ÷ 3 - 6 + 2 x 5, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction).
1. Start by performing any multiplication and division from left to right.
In this case, there is multiplication: 2 x 5 = 10.
Simplified expression: 18 ÷ 3 - 6 + 10
2. Next, perform any addition and subtraction from left to right.
There is subtraction first: 18 ÷ 3 = 6.
Simplified expression: 6 - 6 + 10
3. Finally, perform the remaining addition and subtraction from left to right.
There is subtraction: 6 - 6 = 0.
And addition: 0 + 10 = 10.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 10.
