Order of Operations.

How to answer today's BEDMAS question step by step:

4x3+12÷2.

1. Do the Brackets - There are no brackets.

2. Do the Exponents - There are no exponents.

3. Do the Division - There is division [12÷2=6]. Underneath, rewrite 4x3+6.

4. Do the Multiplication - There is multiplication [4x3=12]. Underneath, rewrite 12+6.

5. Do the Addition and/or Subtraction [#6] - There is no addition or subtraction in today's BEDMAS question but, you would solve the first operation that comes first, left to right [example: 4+3-6x2. You would do addition first since it shows up first].

7. Add up the remaining numbers since there is nothing else to solve. Cube/square your answer [18].

Note: For Division and Multiplication you would do the first operation that shows up, just like Addition and Subtraction. Example: 2x3+6÷4. You would first solve the multiplication since it shows up first [left to right].
