Question

What is the value of the expression 3 squared times the quantity of 2 cubed + 4 all divided by 2 squared?

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

Put this into numbers:

`(3^2*(2^3+4))/(2^2)`

Use Order of Operations to simplify. First, you would do the stuff in parentheses which is:

`2^3+4`

Inside of those parentheses first simplify the exponents:

`8 + 4`

Now add

`12`

So the new equation is:

`(3^2*12)/(2^2)`

The next step is to simplify the exponents

`(9*12)/(4)`

Multiply out the top

`(108)/(4)`

Divide this

`27`
