Use the order of operations to evaluate the expression. 4 x (3/4 - 1/2) + 3 x 6
19
20 1/2
24
33
To evaluate this expression using the order of operations (PEMDAS), we first need to simplify within the parentheses:
3/4 - 1/2 = (3/4 * 2/2) - 1/2
= 6/8 - 4/8
= 2/8
= 1/4
Now we substitute this back into the original expression:
4 x (1/4) + 3 x 6
= 4/4 + 18
= 1 + 18
= 19
Therefore, the answer is 19.
