(7 to the power of 2 minus 15 divided by 3 times)2 the power of 2
To simplify the expression (7^2 - 15 ÷ 3) × 2^2, we can follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS).
First, we simplify any operations within parentheses:
(7^2 - 15 ÷ 3) × 2^2
= (49 - 15 ÷ 3) × 2^2
Next, we simplify any division:
= (49 - 5) × 2^2
= 44 × 2^2
Then, we simplify any exponents:
= 44 × 4
= 176
Therefore, (7^2 - 15 ÷ 3) × 2^2 equals 176.
