Question

Solve the expression for a=12 , b=6 and c=3

Answer 1

2-12+(++)

b^{2}-1c^{2}+(a+b+c)

b2−1c2+(a+b+c)

Simplify: 1

Eliminate redundant parentheses

2−12+(++)

b^{2}-1c^{2}+(a+b+c)

b2−1c2+(a+b+c)

2−12+++

b^{2}-1c^{2}+a+b+c

b2−1c2+a+b+c

Solution: 2−12+++

b^{2}-1c^{2}+a+b+c

b2−1c2+a+b+c

Answer 2

48

Explanation:

`a = 12, \ b = 6, \ c = 3\\\\b^2 - c^2 + (a+ b+c) = 6^2 - 3^2 + (12 +6+3) = 36-9+21 = 48`
