Simplify the given expression

Question

3[2+6(4-3)]

 

Answer 1

Hi Darian;

We will distribute within the parentheses, first.  The brackets are second.

3[2+6(4-3)]

6(4-3)

(6)(4)=24

(6)(-3)=-18

24-18

3(2+24-18)

(3)(2)=6

(3)(24)=72

(3)(-18)=-54

6+72-54

78-54

24

Answer 2

3[2 + 6(4 - 3)] = 3[2 + 6(1)] = 3(8) = 24
