Answer 2

\[6y -x^{2} for x = 2, y = 5.\]

Answer 3

So \[\large \sf 6(5)-2^{2}\]

Answer 4

2x2? or 2x2x2?

Answer 5

The exponent is the number of times you multiply the base by itself. Since the exponent is 2, you multiply the base by itself twice. So 2x2.

Answer 6

6x5=30 2x2 = 4 30 - 4 = 26

So 26 is the answre

Answer 7

That would be correct

Hi @mathmale

Answer 9

owo?

Answer 10

Yes, it's correct.
6x5=30 2x2 = 4 30 - 4 = 26 has resulted in the correct answer, but I have a problem with your having more than 1 equal sign in one equation.

Answer 11

What?

Answer 12

Just do the math from top down, not from left to right.

6*5 = 30. Yes.
2*2 = 4 Yes.
30 - 4 = 26.

Answer 13

6x5=30 2x2 = 4 30 - 4 = 26 would be confusing to many readers.
