The expression can be simplified as follows:

24 - 3 + 4 + 6 = 21 + 10 = 31

So, the simplified expression is 31. None of the given answer choices (90, 18, 6) match the simplified expression.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To simplify the expression 24 - 3 + 4 + 6, we need to follow the order of operations, which is known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).

Step 1: Perform the subtraction within the parentheses: 24 - 3 = 21.
So, the expression simplifies to 21 + 4 + 6.

Step 2: Perform the additions from left to right: 21 + 4 = 25, and 25 + 6 = 31.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 31.

None of the given answer choices (90, 18, or 6) match the simplified expression.

Answer 3

To simplify the expression 24 - 3 + 4 + 6, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

There are no parentheses or exponents in the given expression, so we move on to the next step.

First, we perform the subtraction and addition from left to right:
24 - 3 = 21
21 + 4 = 25
25 + 6 = 31

Therefore, the simplified expression is 31.

Among the given answer choices, none of them equals 31.
