3 * 4 ^ 2 + 8 - 6/2 * 1 -

Answer 1

Using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we solve the expression step by step:

3 * 4 ^ 2 + 8 - 6/2 * 1 -

First, we solve the exponentiation:

3 * 16 + 8 - 6/2 * 1 -

Next, we do the multiplication and division from left to right:

48 + 8 - 6/2 * 1 -

Using the distributive property, we simplify the multiplication:

48 + 8 - 3 * 1 -

Now, we do the remaining addition and subtraction from left to right:

48 + 8 - 3 -

Finally, we combine the terms:

56 - 3 =

The final answer is 53.
