Answer:

84

Explanation:

In order to do this you have to understand PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses,Exponents,Multiplication,Division,Addition,Subtraction. This basically tells us what order we have to do the equation in. So first up, do we have any parentheses? No. Do we have any exponents? No. Okay now, this is what you have to understand. Multiplication and division are on the same level, meaning that if there is any multiplication or division, we do whatever comes first. This also goes for addition and subtraction.

This might sound a bit confusing but let's try! Since division is first, let's do it.

36 divided by 2 is 18.

That means the equation is...

18 x 4+12.

Since multiplication comes after, let's do multiplication now.

18 x 4 =72.

That means the equation is now...

72+12.

Now, our final step is to do addition, so 72+12=84. The answer is 84!
