Question

6^2-3•4=? I’m confused on this so I would appreciate some help ;)

Answer 1

6^2 - 3×4 = 24/1 = 24....

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

The most important thing to note here is that there are no parentheses defining what to do when.

Therefore, we have to use order of operations - PEMDAS, to find the expression's value.

PEMDAS states that the order you go in is:

1. Parentheses

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication/Division

4. Addition/Subtraction

`6^2-3\cdot4`

There are no parentheses, so first we have to solve the exponent.

`6^2=36\\\\36-3\cdot4`

Now we have to multiply.

`36-12`

And now subtract.

`24`

Hope this helped!
