Answer: 7

Concept:

When encountering questions that ask for simplifying operation expressions, the order of operation would be following the PEMDAS method:

  • Parentheses
  • Exponents
  • Multiplication
  • Division
  • Addition
  • Subtraction

Solve:

Given expression

3 (2 - 5) + 4 (6 - 2)

Simplify values in the parentheses

=3 (-3) + 4 (4)

Simplify by multiplication

=-9 + 16

Simplify by addition

=
\boxed{7}

Hope this helps!! :)
