Here is the equation:
[tex]18+4 \times 3[/tex]
You have to use PEMDAS
[tex]\bf Parentheses \\ Exponents \\ Multiplication\\ Division \\ Addition \\ Subtraction[/tex]
Since multiplication is before addition, first multiply. You need to multiply 4 by 3.
[tex]4 \times 3 = 12[/tex]
Here is your new equation:
[tex]18+12[/tex]
All you need to do is add the two numbers. Add:
[tex]18+12=30[/tex]
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
