[(8^2 - 4) - 6] / 6 = ??
i think it's 59?? idk what the brackets mean. can someone PLEASE explain this to me???
oh wait!! is it 9?!
the [] are just like () but make it easier to read than
((8^2-4)-6)/6
You will also see braces {} if there are even more levels of nesting. Anyway, treat them all the same.
Your answer of 9 is correct
thank you so much!
Of course! I'd be happy to explain it to you. Let's go through it step by step.
First, we have the expression [(8^2 - 4) - 6] / 6. In mathematics, parentheses or brackets are used to indicate that the operations inside them should be performed first. So, we need to calculate what's inside the brackets first.
Inside the brackets: 8^2 - 4 equals 64 - 4, which equals 60.
Now, replace the expression with the simplified value: (60 - 6) / 6.
Next, subtract 6 from 60: 60 - 6 equals 54.
Now, replace the expression with the simplified value: 54 / 6.
Finally, divide 54 by 6: 54 รท 6 equals 9.
So, the answer to the expression [(8^2 - 4) - 6] / 6 is 9.
