3³ ÷ 9 ∙ 2 – 12 + 6

Answer 1

Remember PEMDAS -- Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition Subtraction. In that order.

So,


3³ ÷ 9 ∙ 2 – 12 + 6
(9 / 9) * 2 - 12 + 6 [Since you're multiplying 9*2, you can place a parentheses there to make that division portion a bit easier)
1 * 2 - 12 + 6
2 - 12 + 6
-10 + 6
= -4
