Question

I have an answer I just need someone to compare with
Evaluate
15-3(2+(3-6)/8-4)-3^2

Answer 1

\[15-3(2+\frac{ 3-6 }{8-4 })-3^{2}\]

Answer 2

What do you get for an answer?

Answer 3

what do you get?

Answer 4

I got 6

Answer 5

\[15-3(2+\frac{(3-6)}{(8-4)}) - 3^2 = 15-6 -3(\frac{-3}{4}) -9 = \frac{9}{4}\]

Answer 6

I see how you got that can you just see why mine is not right\[15-3(2+\frac{ 3-6 }{ 8-4) }-3^{2}=12(2+(\frac{ 3-6 }{ 8-4})-3^{2}=12(1.25)-3^{2}\] Answer 6

Answer 7

Because it isn't (15-3)(stuff), it's 15 - 3(stuff)

Answer 8

oh ok

Answer 9

You could write it as
\[-3(2+\frac{3-6}{8-4}) + 15 - 9\]and then you wouldn't be so likely to make that mistake.
