Simplify using order of operation 18+4×3

Here is the equation:

You have to use PEMDAS

Since multiplication is before addition, first multiply. You need to multiply 4 by 3.

Here is your new equation:

All you need to do is add the two numbers. Add:

That means your answer is 30

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments! :)

The order of operation is divided in 4 options:

1st - Breaking dow parenthesis

2nd - Square roots / exponents

3rd - Multiplication / division

4th - Addition / Subtraction

So in your case the expression will look like this:

18 + 4 * 3 =  → we solve the multiplication first

18 + 12 =  → secondly we solve the addition (this is the simplified operation)

30 → final answer
