Question

What is the answer to 4[2(6 · 4) - 8 · 6]

Answer 1

The value of this expression is 0.

Explanation:

Note: You want to "evaluate" this expression, not find the "answer."

Any work that happens inside parentheses must be done first. Therefore,

4[2(6 · 4) - 8 · 6] becomes 4[2(24) - 8 · 6]. Next, according to Order of Operations rules, multiplication and division happen before addition or subtraction.

Thus we have 4[48 - 48] = 4[0] = 0

Answer 2

The answer is: 0

Hope this helps!
