How do you do this equation 16*3 - (-36) / 12

Answer: 51

Step-by-step explanation:

16 * 3 - (-36) / 12

Multiply and divide (left to right) 16 * 3 = 48

= 48 - (-36) / 12

Multiply and divide again (left to right) (-36) / 12 = - 3

= 48 - (-3)

Add and subtract (left to right) 48 - (-3) = 51

= 51

By multiplying 16*3 first, which is 48, then subtract 36 from 48, and finally divide the 12 you get by 12, and the answer is one!
