Question

What is 3(-6)2 at the top ?

Answer 1

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the parentheses first with the exponent of 2 on the outside.

Multiply -6 times -6, which gets you 36.

After, multiply 36 by 3. Which gets you 108!

Final: 108

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{108}$

The $^{-2}$ only affects the $(-6)$. Let's solve that exponent first.

$3(-6)^{-2}$

$3(-6*-6)$

Multiply.

$3*36$

Multiply one last time.

$\boxed{108}$
