To simplify the expression using PEMDAS, follow the order of operations:
72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 8 ⋅ 3
1. Start with multiplication: 8 ⋅ 3 = 24
The expression becomes:
72 ÷ 12 + 26 - 24
2. Then, perform division: 72 ÷ 12 = 6
The expression becomes:
6 + 26 - 24
3. Finally, perform addition and subtraction from left to right: 6 + 26 = 32, then 32 - 24 = 8.
The final result is:
8
