Question

Evaluate the expression 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6

Can I get steps? I want to make sure my Process is correct

Answer 1

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62

Explanation:

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 is the given expression.

Now, by the rule of BODMAS, where B = Bracket, O= of, D = divide,

M = multiplication, A = addition and S = subtraction

we try and solve the following expression in the same order.

Solving the bracket first, we get

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 3(11)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 66 − 24 ÷ 6

Next, we solve divide,

66 − 24 ÷ 6 = 66 - 4

Next, solving the subtraction, 66 - 4 = 62

Hence, 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62
