Answer 1

answer=she is not correct

Explanation:

(27-9)*3÷9+18

18*3÷9+18

18*1/3+18

18/3+13

6+13

19

use BODMAS rule (Bracket Of Division Multiplication Addition And Subtraction)

Answer 2

(27-9) x 3 / 9 + 18 = 42

Follow order of operations: parentheses first:

18 x 3 / 9 + 18 = 42

Next is multiplication and division in order from left to right:

18 x 3 = 54

54/9 = 6

Now you have 6 + 18 = 24

24 does not equal 42 so Phillipa is not correct.

The answer is C. She is not correct. The correct answer is 24
