Equation = 0.1 x 30 + 8 - 12 x 1/4
0.1 x 30 would be 3 move the decimal and time the 1 and 3 you get 3
next form of equation = 3 + 8 - 12 x 1/4
using pemdas you move to the end of the equation
12 x 1/4 would be reversed into 12 / 4 which is 3
next form of equation = 3 + 8 - 3
final answer 3 + 8 - 3 = 8
