9. Explain how to solve 8 square+9(12 divided by 3 times 2) -7. (5 Points)

Answer 1

eschewing all the words, we have

8^2 + 9(12/3 * 2) - 7
64 + 9(4*2) - 7
64 + 9*8 - 7
64 + 72 - 7
129

Now, since you were unclear about just what was being divided, you might have meant

8^2 + 9(12/(3*2)) - 7
64 + 9(12/6) - 7
64 + 9(2) - 7
64 + 18 - 7
75

Parentheses are your friends if you want clarity!
