Question

What is the value of the expression in the image? A. 216 B. 224 C. 666 D. 678

Answer 1

666

Explanation:

Following Order of Operations rules (PEMDAS), we must do first any operations that appear inside parentheses. Here (15 - 12) = (3).

Next we must perform any exponentiation. Here we have 3^3 = 27.

Then we have 675 - 27 / 3, or 666 (Answer C)

Answer 2

C. 666

Explanation:

USING PEMDAS we can solve this problem.

`675-(15-12)^3 / 3\\15-12=3\\675-(3)^3/3\\675-27/3\\675-9=666`
