Answer:

7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4 = 31

Explanation:

* To solve this problem lets revise the order of operations in

mathematics

- The operations are:

# Addition

# Subtraction

# Multiplication

# Division

# Exponentiation

# Grouping ⇒ Parenthesis or brackets

- The order of these operations is:

# Parenthesis

# Exponents

# Multiplication and Division which comes first from left to right

# Addition and Subtraction which comes first from left to right

- There is a word made from the first letter of each operation

PEMDAS to remember the order of operations

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4

∵ The (.) means multiply the numbers

∵ The symbol (:) means divided the numbers

∴ At first multiply 7 by 4 and divide 12 by 4

∴ (7 × 4) + 6 - (12 ÷ 4)

∴ 28 + 6 - 3

∵ Addition comes before subtraction from the left

∴ (28 + 6) - 3

∴ 34 - 3 = 31

7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4 = 31
