Danielle, it is odd, I would swear that I told you a concrete example, but we must have missed hitting “Answer”. I’ll try again.
Parentheses mean to group values together that would otherwise be separate.
Here is an example:
(2x)3 is not the same as 2x3
(2x)3 means “ multiply 2 times x,AND THEN raise the result to the 3rd power”
2x3 means “raise x to the 3rd power, AND THEN multiply by 2” Does the help?
