Question

Simplify 6 + 2(5 – 8)2 + 7

Answer 1

The answer is very simple. .

6 + 2 (5 - 8 ) ² + 7

Firstly we solve what is inside the parenthesis

`6\text{ + 2}\cdot(-3)^2\text{ + 7}`
`6\text{ + 2 (9) +7}`

Then we solve the multiplications

`6\text{ + 18 + 7 }`

Finally we solve the sums.

`\text{ 6 +18 + 7 = }31`

That is the solution.
