Question: 4 - 2 + 2 x 3
Simple rules in arithmetic, PEMDASã ¡ Parentheses, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract.
so, using the PEMDAS it would be:
4 - 2 + (2 x 3)
= 4 - 2 + 6
Addition or Subtraction, whichever is the nearest to the left.
In this case, subraction:
(4 - 2) +6
= 2 + 6
Lastly, addition is the only one left so....
2 + 6
= 8
There is simple rules in arithmetic that you have to follow. It can shortened to PEDMAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Divide, Multiply, Add, Subtract). This is the order in which each operation should be done
