Question:

Which operation should be performed first to simplify the expression below?19-2×8÷4+6

Answer:

I'm pretty sure you multiply first because PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) says you go left to right and do multiplication or division first, so I would say it'd be multiplication.
