Step 1:
We follow PEMDAS rule in simplifying this expression.
We do multiplication and division from left to right.
20 – 18 ÷ 6 + 9 × 2 = 20 – 3 + 18
Step 2:
We do all addition and subtraction from left to right
20 – 3 + 18 = 17 + 18 = 35
Step 3:
So 20 – 18 ÷ 6 + 9 × 2 = 35

Step 1:
We follow PEMDAS rule in simplifying this expression.
We do multiplication and division from left to right.
8 + 4 × 6 – 8 ÷ 2 = 8 + 24 – 4
Step 2:
We do all addition and subtraction from left to right
8 + 24 – 4 = 28
Step 3:
So 8 + 4 × 6 – 8 ÷ 2 = 28
