Question 17566: Simplify: (-3)(6)(-2) - 8 + 4 + 3(6)
Answer by whisper(27)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember PEMDAS. You solve what is in parenthesis first, then exponents, after that you multiply or divide in the order they come and finally add or subtract in order. The parenthesis in this problem simply indicate multiplication and there are no exponents. Thus we multiply first before adding or subtracting. Don't forget that a negative times a postive is negative; and a negative times a negative is a positive.
(-3)(6)(-2) - 8 + 4 + 3(6)
(-18)(-2) - 8 + 4 + 18
36 - 8 + 4 + 18
28 + 4 + 18
32 + 18
50
