Question

Evaluate the expression for the given values of the variables -3[w-6 to the power of 2 + X]; w =5,X =6

Answer 1

Put the values of w = 5 and x = 6 to the expression -3[w - 6² + x].

Use PEMDAS:

P Parentheses first

E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

3[5 - 6² + 6] = 3(5 - 36 + 6) = 3(-31 + 6) = 3(-25) = -75
