Solve: (36-20)÷8 - 6 Using Order of Operations

Let's first address the fraction. We must begin by solving the exercise within the parentheses due to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations. Parentheses come before everything else:

$\frac{36-(20)}{8}-3\times2=$

Let's continue by simplifying the fraction, we subtract the exercise in the numerator and divide by 8:

$\frac{36-20}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2$

We then arrange the exercise accordingly:

$2-3\times2=$

Finally we solve the multiplication exercise and then subtract:

$2-6=-4$
