Answer
$$31$$
Work Step by Step
To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations, so we need to multiply or divide from left to right.
Multiply $4 \times 6$ first:
$$24 \div 2 \times 3 + (-5)$$
Then, divide $24$ by $2$:
$$12 \times 3 + (-5)$$
Then, multiply $12$ and $3$:
$$36 + (-5)$$
Subtract $5$ because a positive sign and a negative sign equal a negative sign:
$$36 - 5$$
Subtract:
$$31$$
