Question

6 • (4 + 2)2 – 32 answer.

Answer 1

This is a classic order of operations question

I always remember order of operations as PEMDAS, or

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

That is the order to do items, from left to right. Multiplication and decision take place at the same time, as do addition and subtraction

So lets look at your problem: 6 • (4 + 2)² – 32

The first thing to do is what is in the parentheses, the 4 + 2

6 • (6)² – 32

The 2nd thing is the exponent

6 • 36 – 32

Next we do the multiplication

216 - 32

And finally the subtraction, leaving us with
