The expression contains both multiplication and division operations.

$\therefore$ From PEMDAS, the operations of multiplication and division are to be solved from the left.
= $24÷12+72÷8-9$
= $2+72÷8-9$
= $2+9-9$

If an expression contains only addition and subtraction, then solve the expression from the left.
= $11-9$
= 2
