Use PEMDAS to get to #33#.

Cool Math

Using PEMDAS, our first step #P#, is parentheses. As that's not part of the question, we can ignore it. Same with exponents, the #E#.

The next step is #M# and #D#, multiplication and division.

We would have to multiply #2*6#, to get #12#. We'd then multiply #3*8#, to get #24#.

Our current equation is #12 + 24 -3#.

Our last step is #A# and #S#, addition and subtraction.

We'd just have to combine the last three terms.

#12+24 = 36#, and #36-3 = 33#. Our final answer is #33#.
