Question

Please help me 8^2+3(36/6)-2

Answer 1

We are going to have to use order of operations (often called "PEMDAS"), which says that expressions should be simplified in the following order:

• Parentheses
• Exponents
• Multiplication/Division
• Addition/Subtraction

First, we can see that there are some parentheses, which we will need to take care of first. Inside the parentheses is $\frac{36}{6}$, which simplifies to 6. Our expression is now:

$8^2 + 3(6) - 2 = 8^2 + 3 \cdot 6 - 2$

Second, we see that there is an exponent. $8^2 = 64$, so our expression is now:

$64 + 3 \cdot 6 - 2$

Third, we have multiplication, $3 \cdot 6$. $3 \cdot 6 = 18$, so our expression is now:

$64 + 18 - 2$

Fourth, we complete the addition and subtraction:

$64 + 18 - 2$

$82 - 2$

$\boxed{80}$

Our answer is 80.
