Question

Simplify using order of operation 18+4×3

Answer 1

The order of operation is divided in 4 options:

1st - Breaking dow parenthesis

2nd - Square roots / exponents

3rd - Multiplication / division

4th - Addition / Subtraction

So in your case the expression will look like this:

18 + 4 * 3 = → we solve the multiplication first

18 + 12 = → secondly we solve the addition (this is the simplified operation)

30 → final answer

Answer 2

Here is the equation:

`18+4 * 3`

You have to use PEMDAS

`\bf Parentheses \\ Exponents \\ Multiplication\\ Division \\ Addition \\ Subtraction`

Since multiplication is before addition, first multiply. You need to multiply 4 by 3.

`4 * 3 = 12`

Here is your new equation:

`18+12`

All you need to do is add the two numbers. Add:

`18+12=30`

That means your answer is 30
