@iceicebaby  Have you heard of PEMDAS ? Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

anonymous · Answer

you square the 6 first because the six is inside the parentheses 

when solving an equation, follow the the rule of PEMDAS which stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction 

you always do anything inside the parentheses first (going in order of PEMDAS) then any exponents, then do multiplication or division (going in order of right to left) then addition or subtraction (again doing whichever comes first in order from right to left)
