PEMDAS
18-9(-4)/3+10•2
18-(-36)/3+20
18-(-12)+20

Okay let’s put PEMDAS into mind.

PEMDAS: parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction (left to right)

18-9•(-4) /3 +10•2

Multiplication & Division comes first (left to right) so...

-9•(-4) = 36

bring down the divided by 3...

36/3 = 12

Bring the whole equation down...

18+12+10•2

Once again, there is another to multiply so...

10•2 = 20

18+12+20

All is the same so add them up to get...

50

^ That’s the answer.
