Answer:
You are correct the answer is 48.
Explanation:
To begin solving this question you would want to start simplifying it to make it more understandable.
3^3 is 27 which now gives you 27 + 1 x 9 +12 which makes it easier to solve.
Then you would take 1 x 9 = 9 (multiply left to right)
Now it is simple addition
27 + 9 + 12 = 48
Hopefully this helps.
