Question

Show how changing the position of the parentheses affects the solution for the expression: 4+(9-6÷3)x3^2. Show all of your work

Answer 1

The parentheses there say that after 6 is divided by 3then 9 shouldbe subtracted before solving the rest of the equation

Answer 2

So if the parentheses were not there, after you divide 6 by 3, you would multiply that by 3^2, and then do all the subtractions and additions.

Answer 3

So if there were no parentheses the answer would be 1
With the parentheses the answer is 46

Answer 4

Look up BEDMAS to see how this works.

Answer 5

It's the rule about which math signs get performed first. Also called the order of operation.
