evaluate the expression 12^2 - (9 - 7)^3 + 6

12^2 - (9 - 7)^3 + 6 = 12^2 - (8)^3 + 6
= ? - ? + 6

5 answers

To simplify further:

12^2 = 144
(8)^3 = 512

Therefore:

144 - 512 + 6
= -368 + 6
= -362

The value of the expression is -362.
12^2 - (9 - 7)^3 + 6 = 12^2 - (8)^3 + 6
= ? - ? + 6

what are the answers to the question marks
To find the answers to the question marks, we simplify the expression:

12^2 = 144
(8)^3 = 512

Plugging these values into the expression:

144 - 512 + 6
= -368 + 6
= -362

Therefore, the answers to the question marks are -368 and 6, respectively.
that is wrong
You are correct, I apologize for the error in my response. Let's simplify the expression again:

12^2 - (9 - 7)^3 + 6
= 144 - (2)^3 + 6
= 144 - 8 + 6
= 142 - 8
= 134

Therefore, the correct answers to the question marks are 142 and 8, respectively. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
