Question

3. Consider the following expressions. EVALUATE each expression AND

EXPLAIN WHY they have different answers.
2 points
6 + 32 and (6 + 3)?
Can you please help me with both of does problems

Answer 1

the first one = 12 and the second one = 18.
the reason why they have different answers is because of PEMDAS.

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

For the first equation we gave to multiply the exponent (2) to the number (3) because that’s the order of PEMDAS. So, 3x2=6 then + 6=12.

For the second equation there are parentheses, which means we solve the equation inside the parentheses first because of PEMDAS. So, 6+3=9 then x 2 =18.

They have different answers because they are ordered in different ways . PEMDAS controls the order we solve equations in.


Hope this helped:)))
