To simplify the expression [tex]\( 20 - 20120 \div 20 \)[/tex], follow these steps according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which means performing division before subtraction.
1. Perform the division operation first:
[tex]\[
20120 \div 20 = 1006
\][/tex]
2. Now, substitute the result of the division back into the original expression:
[tex]\[
20 - 1006
\][/tex]
3. Finally, perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[
20 - 1006 = -986
\][/tex]
So, the simplified result of the expression [tex]\( 20 - 20120 \div 20 \)[/tex] is [tex]\(-986\)[/tex].
