Here is a step by step guide on how to solve a BEDMAS question.







The example is be:4x3+12÷2=18







First, you check for brackets. There are none.







Then you check for exponents. There are none.







Now, check for multiplication and division. There are some.







You do multiplication first because it shows up first when you go left to right.







Now you have this:12+12÷2=18







Now you do division because there are no brackets, exponents or multiplication.



It should look like this:12+6=18







There are no brackets, exponents, multiplication or division.



All there's left to do is either add or subtract.



12+6=18











There's no subtraction sign, but there is an addition sign so you add.



Your answer should be 18. 18=18
