Question

Simplify
A. 3(4)-6+5(4)
B. 20-3 to the power of 2 (5)

Answer 1

Here is the answer:
$A. 3(4)-6+5(4) =12-6+20 =6+20 =26$

$B.20-3^2(5) = 20-9(5) =20-45 =-25$. Hope it help!

Answer 2

A: First you multiply the 3(4) to get 12 - 6 + 5(4). Then you multiply the 5(4) to get 12 - 6 + 20. You then subtract the rest to get 6 + 20. Then add and get 26.

B: First you get rid of the exponent and turn 3^2 into 9, and you'll have 20 - 9(5). Then you'll multiply 9(5) to get 45. Lastly you do 20 - 45 and get -25.

A: 26

B: -25
