Evaluate

(6 to the power of 2 - 15 ÷ 3) x 2 to the power of 2

1 answer

To evaluate this expression, we start by solving the operation inside the parentheses:

6 squared is 6^2 = 36

15 divided by 3 is 15/3 = 5

So, the expression becomes:

(36 - 5) x 2^2

Next, we calculate the exponentiation:

2 squared is 2^2 = 4

Now, we can simplify the expression further:

(36 - 5) x 4

36 minus 5 is 31, so the expression becomes:

31 x 4

Finally, we evaluate the multiplication to get the final answer:

31 multiplied by 4 is 124.

Therefore, the value of the expression is 124.
