Here is your answer:
You have to use PEMDAS in order to simplify it:
- [tex]3 + 4 \times 6 (10 - 8)[/tex]
- As you can see P goes first:
- [tex]10 - 8 = 2[/tex]
- [tex]3+4\times 6\times 2[/tex]
- M would go next:
- [tex]4 \times 6 = 24 \times 2 = 48[/tex]
- [tex]3 + 48[/tex]
Therefore the simplify version of this equation is "3+48."
Hope this helps!
