54 x 6

Step-by-step explanation: In order to solve this problem, we will use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). We will start by solving the problems in the parenthesis. Inside the parenthesis, we will do the multiplication problem, because multiplication comes before addition. Hope this helps! :)
