Answer:

24

Explanation:

PEMDAS

first you multiply -3×4=-12

24-12÷2+6

then divide -12/2=-6

24-6+6

add -6+6=0

24+0

subtract 24+0=24

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The order of operations is:

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division (left to right), Addition, Subtraction (left to right)

Left to right means whichever comes first.

Now let's solve

3*4=12

12/2=6

24-6+6=18+6=24
