Solution

$Given: 8 - 6 \div 3$

Following the rules of BODMAS, the first operation that must be performed is multiplication or division, whichever appears first from left to right, followed by addition or subtraction, whichever appears first from left to right.

Thus, we first simplify $6 \div 3 - ---- -$
$\Rightarrow 6 \div 3 = 2$

Hence,
$8 - 6 \div 3 - ---- - = 8 - 2 = 6$
