Solution

As per the order of BODMAS, we simplify the terms in brackets first. As there are no brackets, we consider the next operation.

$20 - 40 \div 3 - ----- - \times 6$

Since division operation comes first as we move from the left to right, we will evaluate the division operation first in the expression.
