Step 1: Identify the numbers and operations in the expression: 3, 4, 2, +, and ×.
Step 2: Remember the order of operations (BODMAS): Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
Step 3: Since multiplication comes before addition, first calculate 4 × 2.
Step 4: Calculate 4 × 2, which equals 8.
Step 5: Now replace 4 × 2 in the original expression with 8, so it becomes 3 + 8.
Step 6: Finally, calculate 3 + 8, which equals 11.
