Answer 7

yea

Answer 8

Ohhh okay. I can do that lol. :p

Answer 9

ok thanks ur awsome

Answer 10

Just to be sure, its saying 6^2+3*10.5
then that -8
right?

Answer 11

yea -8.2

Answer 12

Okay. Think PEMDAS. Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction.
So then first would be the exponent: 6^2
Then would be 3*10.5
Then would be 2+ 31.5 (the 3*10.5)
and finally, you would subtract 8.2

Does it want you to solve it?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

is that it did u solve it

Answer 15

No, I just explained the steps on how to solve it lol

Answer 16

can u solve it for me please

Answer 17

Sure.
6^2=36
So then it would be (36+3*10.5)-8.2
3*10.5 is 31.5
So then it would be (36+31.5)-8.2
Then you add (36+31.5), which is 67.5
So then it would be 67.5-8.2
Which is 59.3
And that is the final answer lol
