Answer:

30 - 18 + 24 ÷ 4 = 18

Explanation:

The order of operations is

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Use this word PEMDAS to remember the order of operation

Let us solve the problem

30 18 24 4 = 18

∵ 30 - 18 = 12

∵ 24 ÷ 4 = 6

∵ 12 + 6 = 18

That means put (-) between 30 and 18, (÷) between 24 and 4, then put (+) between 18 and 24

∴ 30 - 18 + 24 ÷ 4

- The first operation is the division

∵ 24 ÷ 4 = 6

∴ 30 - 18 + 6

- Start with 30 - 18 because in addition and subtraction we start

with who come first

∵ 30 - 18 = 12

∴ 12 + 6

- Finally add them

∵ 12 + 6 = 18

30 - 18 + 24 ÷ 4 = 18
