56


24


66


17

Answer 1

Your answer is 56.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we simply need to plug in the given numbers into the expression.

If we do this, we get the following:

u + xy

2 + (9*6)

Using PEMDAS, we know that we have to perform the multiplication in this problem before the addition. Thus the first step in simplification is multiplying 9 and 6 together. If we do this, we get:

2 + 54

Next, we simply add together the two remaining terms.

54 + 2 = 56

Therefore, your answer is 56, the first option.

Hope this helps!
