Final answer:

The errors in the given expression are a mistake in multiplication and not following the correct order of operations

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression 36÷3+(3²•2)36÷3+9•2, there are two errors:

1. The first error is the multiplication of 3²•2, which should be calculated as (3²)•2 = 9•2 = 18. This means that the expression should be changed to 36÷3+18+9•2.

2. The second error is the order of operations. According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), multiplication and division should be done before addition. Therefore, the expression should be calculated as 36÷3+18+(9•2).

Calculating the expression correctly gives the result 12+18+18 = 48.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the last part of the problem, you have to follow PEMDAS.

Instead of you added before dividing. After the step of 36÷3+9x2 you have to divide.
