This short equation is a classic order-of-operations challenge. It looks straightforward, yet solving it strictly from left to right produces the wrong answer.
How to Solve It
Answer: 38.
Multiplication comes before addition and subtraction. First, 6 × 0 = 0. The expression becomes 30 − 0 + 8, giving 38. Remember the order of operations rather than rushing to subtract first.
