To do this problem, we must focus on the Formula of Operations, which is PEMDAS.

P= Parentheses
E= Exponents
M= Multiplication
D= Division
A= Addition
S= Subtraction

__________________________

To Set Up The Problem:

We got the Formula, we need to focus on how to set up the problem.

6 + 10 / 2 - 1 x 4.

To Solve:

We must follow the formula of PEMDAS.

So, Parentheses is first, there aren’t any Parentheses.

Exponents are next, but there aren’t any in this problem.

There is multiplication so let’s solve:

6 + 10 / 2 - 1 x 4 equals:

6 + 10 / 2 - 1(4) There is more multiplication still.

6 + 10 / 2 - 1 x 4 equals:

6 + 10 / 2 - 4.

There is no more multiplication, so we move on to Division, there is some division in this problem. So:

6 + 10 / 2 - 4 equals:

6 + 5 - 4.

So now we move to Addition, there is some addition also. So,

6 + 5 - 4 equals:

11 - 4.

And then last but not least, Subtraction.

11-4 equals:

7

Conclusion:

Your final answer is 7. And we had to follow by a very special formula of Order of Operations. PEMDAS.
(Always Remember This Formula :)))
