Question

What is the value of 6(2b-4) when b =3

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Explanation:

2 x 3 = 6

6 - 4 = 2

6 x 2 = 12

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Use BODMAS, so first solve the inside of the bracket:

2*3= 6

6-4= 2

Now we can multiply that by the number outside the bracket. Why?

Because a number outside a bracket means to multiply that number by everything in the bracket. So:

6 * 2 = 12
