Question

This should be easy to answer with a calculator but I don’t really have a calculator on hand lol so please solve it for me:

-6(3)(-4)+3(3)^2(-4)-2(3)(-4)^2

Answer 1

- 132

Explanation:

This can be evaluated without a calculator.

Take each part of the calculation and evaluate, that is

- 6(3)(- 4) = - 6 × - 12 = 72

3(3)²(- 4) = 3 × 9 × - 4 = - 12 × 9 = - 108

2(3)(- 4)² = 6 × 16 = 96

Putting the 3 parts back together

72 - 108 - 96

= 72 - 204

= - 132
