Question

8. 36.8 = [11.5 – (2.5 X 3)]2

Answer 1

Answer:

$[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate $[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2$

Let us evaluate within the parenthesis first:

$[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=[11.5-(7.5)]^2$

$\implies [11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=[11.5-7.5]^2$

We again subtract within the bracket to obtain:

$[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=[4]^2$

This finally gives us:

$[11.5-(2.5*3)]^2=16$
