Note that in the numerator you have a subtract and a multiply. By the order of operations you perform the multiply (the 2 * 3) first

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

18 - 2*3 comes to what?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

first do 2*3 then subtract the result from 18

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

6

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

is it 6

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

2*3 is 6 but now you need to subtract this from 18 18 - 6 = ?

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

12

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right so now we have 12 ------ 12 / 6 + 1

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

so 3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

thats 12 divided by 6 plus 1 Again division is done before the addition so 12 / 6 = ?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

thanx

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

so that is 12 / 3 - that gives you the final answer

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

remember order of operations PEDMAS Parenthese Exponent ivision Multiplication Add Subtract

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

so the answer is 4

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

thanx
