Question

How would I do this?

[-2(12-3)/3]^2

Answer 1

Parenthesis - (12-3)= 9
Exponent - 2
9^2?

Answer 2

you start from the innermost parenthesis (which in this case is 12-3). The follow MDAS next (multiply then divide). Then multiply it to itself. =)

Answer 3

first solve the round bracket and then solve the square bracket (the outer bracket)

Answer 4

still confused

Answer 5

first part is right. after that you multiply it by -2 then divide it by 3. that is when you raise it to 2.

Answer 6

its easy. the round bracket is the inner bracket, u have to solve first at all times

Answer 7

\[\left( \frac{ -2(9) }{ 3 } \right)^{2}\]

Answer 8

so, (12-3)/3 = 3. did u get that

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Answer 11

then u r left with -2 (3) with square root of 2

Answer 12

solve -2(3)=-6^2 = 36

Answer 13

umm... hello
