Work/explanation:

PEMDAS stands for :

  • parentheses
  • exponents
  • multiplication
  • division
  • addition
  • subtraction

So, parentheses first:


\sf{3(8+24)-20}


\sf{3(32)-20}

Multiply:


\sf{96-20}

Subtract:


\sf{76}

Answer :

Answer:

76

Explanation:

using the order set out in PEMDAS

3(8 + 24) - 20 ← evaluate parenthesis

= 3 × 32 - 30 ← evaluate multiplication

= 96 - 20 ← perform subtraction

= 76
