5 - 9 + 18 ÷ 6 = ?
First you need to do the order of operations "P E M D A S". So first in Pemdas is parentheses, which there are none. Next is exponents in Pemdas, there are no exponents. Next, in the word Pemdas is multiplication, and there is no multiplication. The D in pemdas is for division, there is division in this problem.
First step: 18 ÷ 6 = 3 So, change that 18 divided by 6 into a 3(which is the quotient). So our problem is now: 5 - 9 + 3 = ?
Next in the word pemdas is addition, so that's our next step. Second Step: 9 + 3 = 12, so now change the 9 + 3 to a 12. New prblem is: 5 - 12 = ?
So lastly, there is subtraction in the word Pemdas! 5 - 12 would equal -7.
Hope I helped! (sorry lots of explaining)
