Question

Answer the question 2+7⋅(−3)2

Answer 1

Hoi!

To solve this, let's use the PEMDAS Order of Operations.

Parenthesis first:


`2 + 7 * -3 * 2`

There are no exponents, so we move on to multiplication.

Multiplication next:


`7 * -3 = -21`

`-21 * 2 = -42`

Here's our equation now:


`2 - 21`

No division or addition, so we move on to subtraction.

Subtraction next:
`2 - 21 = -19`

Your answer is -19.

Answer 2

If the 3 is supposed to be squared then the answer is 65
