Jacki evaluated the expression below. 2 cubed (3 minus 1) + 4 (8 minus 12) = 2 cubed (2) + 4 (4) = 8 (2) + 16 = 16 + 16 = 32. What was Jacki’s error? Jacki should have simplified the exponent first. Jacki should have multiplied 4 and 8 first. Jacki did not subtract 12 from 8 correctly. Jacki should not have multiplied 8 and 2.
