Let x represent the number originally signed up.
.. 360/x -6 = 360/(x +3)
.. 360*(x +3) -6x(x +3) = 360x . . . . . multiply by the product of denominators
.. 360x +1080 -6x^2 -18x = 360x
.. x^2 +3x -180 = 0
.. (x +15)(x -12) = 0
Solutions are x = {-15, 12}

12 members went on the trip.
_____
The problem wording does not make clear whether the original number (12) or the number suggested by the bus company (15) went on the trip. It would be most reasonable for 15 to go, if the troop had people who were willing.

For this case we have the following expression:

2 + 3 ^ 2 * (4 - 1)

Rewriting the expression we have:

1) First we subtract the numbers within the parenthesis:

2 + 3 ^ 2 * (3)

2) Then, we solve the exponents:

2 + 9 * (3)

3) Then, multiplication:

2 + 27

4) Finally, the addition of numbers is made:

29

Answer:
