Consider the expression [15+(−5)]+6/2. What is the result of the first simplification that would need to take place, according to the order of operations?

According to the order of operations, the first simplification that would need to take place is the addition within the parentheses: [15+(−5)].

This simplifies to 10.

Consider the following expression: 4+(−6)⋅2/−(−3)^2. What is the simplified denominator?

The simplified denominator is (−3)^2.

(-3)^2 simplifies to 9.

Are you sure

I apologize for any confusion. I made a mistake in my previous response.

The expression is: 4+(−6)⋅2/−(−3)^2.

The first simplification to take place in this expression would be the calculation of (-3)^2, since exponentiation is done before any multiplication or division.

(-3)^2 simplifies to 9.

Consider the following expression: 4+(−6)⋅2/−(−3)^2. What is the simplified denominator?

The simplified denominator in the expression 4+(−6)⋅2/−(−3)^2 is (-3)^2.

(-3)^2 simplifies to 9.

That is wrong bot

I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's simplify the expression correctly.

The expression 4+(-6)×2/(-(-3)^2) can be simplified as follows:

First, we need to evaluate the exponent (-3)^2, which is equal to 9.

Next, we perform the multiplication -6 × 2, which equals -12.

Finally, we divide -12 by 9 to get -12/9.

Therefore, the simplified denominator is 9.
