3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62 =

-117

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62
3(9) - 124
27 - 124
-97

Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. The answer is -97.

To find the solution to the equation 3(4 + 5) - 2 × 62, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as the PEMDAS rule.

PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (from left to right), and Addition/Subtraction (from left to right).

Let's break down the equation step by step:

1. Start with the parentheses: (4 + 5) = 9

2. Replace the expression in the parentheses with the result: 3(9) - 2 × 62

3. Perform the multiplication: 2 × 62 = 124

4. Rewrite the equation: 3(9) - 124

5. Perform the multiplication: 3 × 9 = 27

6. Rewrite the equation: 27 - 124

7. Perform the subtraction: 27 - 124 = -97

Therefore, the solution to the equation 3(4 + 5) - 2 × 62 is -97.
