Multiplication before addition therefore: 6 + 8x3 = 6 + 24 = 30

The answer is 30 because you multiply 8 by 3 to get 24, then you need to add 6 to 24 which means you get 30.

Remember to use BODMAS

Hello! How's it going!


Bodmas stands for - Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction.


So let's do the multiplication first which is 8 x 3 which of course is 24! Then add 6. That equals 30!


Hope that helps!

Using BODMAS, M (Multiplication) comes before A (Addition) so we need to multiply before we add:


8 x 3 = 24


Using this answer, we add it with what is left in our question:


6 + 24 = 30
