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

Solve the following:

$\frac{36-(4\cdot5)}{8}-3\cdot2=$

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:

$2-6=-4$
