Question

Simplify 3^2 + 3(6 - 2^2) ÷ 6.

Answer 1

Fractions simplification

Apply PEMDAS method. Eliminate parenthesis first.

Then (3^2 + 3•6 - 3•2^2 )/ 6 = (3^2 + 3•6 - 3•2^2 )/ 6

now eliminate exponents

= [3• 3 + 3•6 + 3•4] / 6

= 3•5/6 now multiplicate

3•5= 15

Then

= 15/6 = 2 + 3/6 = 2 + 1/2 = 2.5
