Question

Evaluate the expression (9^2 - 15*2) ÷ 17

Answer 1

We are required to evaluate the expression:

`(9^2-15*2)/17`

First, we evaluate the power (exponent).

`\begin{gathered} 9^2=81 \\ \text{Therefore, we have:} \\ (9^2-15*2)/17=(81-15*2)/17 \\ \text{Next, we evaluate the multiplication (}15*2) \\ =(81-30)/17 \\ =51/17 \\ =3 \end{gathered}`
