Use PEMDAS to simplify: 72÷12+26−8⋅3 .
To simplify the expression using PEMDAS, we must perform the operations in the parentheses first. However, the expression does not contain any parentheses, so we move to the next step.
Next, we evaluate the exponentiation. However, there are no exponents in the expression, so we move to the next step.
Now, we perform the multiplication and division from left to right. Therefore, we start with 72 ÷ 12 = 6:
6 + 26 − 8 ⋅ 3
Next, we perform the multiplication:
6 + 26 − 24
Now, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
6 + 26 = 32
32 − 24 = 8
Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.
