This short equation is a quick test of basic order of operations.
The expression is 72 ÷ 8 + 6. Division is completed before addition, so start with 72 ÷ 8.
72 ÷ 8 = 9.
Then add the remaining 6:
9 + 6 = 15.
It is easy to overthink simple equations like this, but following the operation order keeps everything clear.
Answer: 15.
