Answer: B. 8 P 6 M 2 Q 4 L 2 = 18

Answer: (B) 8 P 6 M 2 Q 4 L 2 = 18

Replace the letters and evaluate each option by BODMAS.

\(8 + 6 \times 2 - 4 \div 2\) = 18 ✓ (matches the right side)

\(24 \div 6 + 3 \times 5 - 4\) = 15, not 17

\(36 \times 2 \div 4 + 9 - 3\) = 24, not 26

\(16 - 4 \div 2 + 5 \times 3\) = 29, not 30
