Which of the following is the value of the following expression?
3 (7) + (5-2) 2
11
22
30
576
30
again write (5-2)^2 = 3^2 = 9
If you just leave a space it will not work as problems get longer.
My apologies, you are correct. The correct solution is:
3 (7) + (5-2)^2 = 21 + 9 = 30.
To find the value of the given expression, follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
1. Start with the parentheses:
- (5-2) = 3
2. Now simplify the expression further:
- 3(7) + 3(2)
- Multiply first: 3 * 7 = 21
- Then, 3 * 2 = 6
3. Combine the results:
- 21 + 6 = 27
Therefore, the value of the expression 3(7) + (5-2)2 is 27.
