Simplify: 26 + 8 × 4 − 18 ÷ 6
A. 61
B. 34
C. 55✓ Correct Answer
D. 133
💡 Solution & Explanation
Follow BODMAS: division and multiplication come before addition and subtraction. First 18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 8 × 4 = 32. Then 26 + 32 − 3 = 55. Working simply from left to right would give the wrong value, because it adds 26 and 8 before multiplying.
