Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division: 3 Numbers

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we will work to solve the exercise from left to right:

9+3=11

11-1=10

And this is the solution!

According to the rules of the order of operations, given that the exercise only involves subtraction and addition operations, we solve the exercise from left to right:

$3+2=5$

$5-1=4$

The division and multiplication have the same priority according to the order of operations, therefore we solve it from left to right:

$10\cdot2=20$

$20/4=5$

According to the order of operations rules, we must first solve the division problem, and subsequently the subtraction problem:

$3:4=\frac{3}{4}$

$11-\frac{3}{4}=10\frac{1}{4}$

According to the rules of the order of operations, the exercise which contains both multiplication and division should be solved from left to right.

$30:5=6$

$6\times2=12$

The given equation is $36 - 4 \div 2$. To solve this, we must follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

Step 1: Division

• Identify the division operation in the equation: $4 \div 2$.

• Perform the division: $4 \div 2 = 2$.

Now the equation becomes: $36 - 2$.

Step 2: Subtraction

• Perform the subtraction: $36 - 2 = 34$.

Therefore, the result of the equation $36 - 4 \div 2$ is $34$.
