(6 to the power of 2-15 divided by 3) x 2 to the power of 2
To solve this expression, we follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS).
Let's break down the expression step by step:
Step 1: 6 to the power of 2 is equal to 36.
Step 2: 36 - 15 = 21.
Step 3: 21 divided by 3 equals 7.
Step 4: 2 to the power of 2 is equal to 4.
Now, we can rewrite the expression:
(6^2 - 15 ÷ 3) × 2^2 = (36 - 15 ÷ 3) × 4
Step 5: 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
Step 6: 36 - 5 = 31.
Step 7: 31 × 4 = 124.
Therefore, the value of the expression is 124.
