Question

(12y)+12 y=15 do I multiply 12 and 15 then add 12

Answer 1

12y + 12.....when y = 15
12(15) + 12.....multiplication comes before addition in the order of operations...so multiply first.
so yes....u r correct...multiply 12 and 15, then add 12

Answer 2

Yes you were right cause you have to do what is inside of the parenthesis first so that would be 180 then u would add 12.

your final answer would be 192

hope this was enough help
