Answer 1

we have been asked to simplify

(2− 1) + 3^2 ÷ 3

Using PEMDAS rule

we will simplify it in the order of PEMDAS

Parenthesis first we get

1+3^2 ÷ 3

Now does the exponent operation

1+9 ÷ 3

Now does the division Operation

1+3

Now does the addition operation

4

Hence the simplified value of the expression (2− 1) + 3^2 ÷ 3 is 4.
