use the order of operations to evaluate the expression: 12/4+6-2x4
Using the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right), we can evaluate the expression:
12/4 + 6 - 2 × 4
First, we perform the multiplication: 2 × 4 = 8
We have: 12/4 + 6 - 8
Next, we perform the division: 12/4 = 3
We have: 3 + 6 - 8
Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
3 + 6 = 9
9 - 8 = 1
Therefore, the expression evaluates to 1.
