(1 - 6) x 3^2

[?]

1 answer

To solve the expression \((1 - 6) \times 3^2\), we follow the order of operations:

  1. Calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 1 - 6 = -5 \]

  2. Calculate \(3^2\): \[ 3^2 = 9 \]

  3. Now, multiply the results: \[ -5 \times 9 = -45 \]

Therefore, the final result is \(-45\).
