    A. 6

    B. 21

    C. 38

    D. 23

    Answer Explanation

    Use the order of operations to solve the given equation. The acronym PEDMAS will help us to solve the given problem.

    P- Parenthesis

    E-Exponents

    D-Divide

    M-Multiply

    A-Add

    S-Subtract

    From the given equation start with solving :-

    12 ÷3 * 4 - 1 + 23

    Next, carry out division 12÷3=4

    4*4-1+23

    Multiply is 4*4=16

    16-1+23

    Add or subtract can be conducted in any order. From left to right, we subtract followed by addition

    Subtract 16-1=15

    15+23

    The last step is to add 15+23

    15+23=38

    Thus, the answer to the given equation is 38.
