The final answer is 10
This is a question trying to test your knowledge of PEMDAS.
P = PARENTHESIS
E = EXPONENTIAL
M= MULTIPLICATION
D= DIVISION
A = ADDITION
S = SUBTRACTION
The order of priority for solving is given from top to bottom from Parenthesis all the way down to Subraction.
The question:
[tex](5+2.4)-3^2+6^{}[/tex]Contains a Parenthesis so this is solved first.
It also contains 3 raised to power 2, which is Exponential meaning we shall do that next.
Let us now proceed to solving:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Solving the Parenthesis first:} \\ (5+2.4)-3^2+6 \\ We\text{ must solve the multiplication in the parenthesis first} \\ \text{before solving the addition according to PEMDAS} \\ \\ 2.4=2\times4=8 \\ (5+8)-3^2+6 \\ 13-3^2+6 \\ \\ \text{There is an exponential here so that takes priority} \\ 13-9+6=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the final answer is 10
