1. **State the problem:** Calculate the value of the expression $24 \div 3 + 6 \times 2$. 2. **Recall the order of operations:** According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), division and multiplication are performed before addition, and they are evaluated from left to right. 3. **Perform the division first:** $$24 \div 3 = 8$$ 4. **Perform the multiplication next:** $$6 \times 2 = 12$$ 5. **Rewrite the expression with these results:** $$8 + 12$$ 6. **Perform the addition:** $$8 + 12 = 20$$ **Final answer:** $20$
